Claim:
A device for blow molding containers, which has at least one blowing station mounted on a support structure for blow molding thermoplastic preforms into containers; in which the blowing station is provided with at least two blow mold segments that are supported by mold supports and with a base part; and in which both the mold supports and the base part are arranged in a way that allows them to be mechanically positioned, and the mold supports and the base part are mechanically coupled with one another, wherein one of the mold supports ( 19 , 20 ) is mounted by the support structure ( 41 ) in an immovable way, while the other mold support ( 19 , 20 ) is mounted by the support structure ( 41 ) in a way that allows it to swivel, where the base part ( 7 ) is mounted in a way that allows it to move relative to each of the two mold supports ( 19 , 20 ), and where the base part ( 7 ) has a path of motion relative to the mold supports ( 19 , 20 ) that has both a component that extends in the longitudinal direction ( 43 ) of the blowing station ( 7 ) and a component that extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction ( 43 ).
