The invention relates to a molding device for moving at least one molding tool (10), especially for generating head geometries in plastic containers, by means of a link motion (22) which brings the respective molding tool (10) into the closed position at least for closing the tool. Said link motion (22) is actuated by a drive (24). The link motion allows for a novel drive and kinematic concept for the respective molding tool which allows to completely avoid hydraulic drive means. The drive is preferably an electric drive, especially a step motor. (FIG. nil-)
