Abstract: A stretch blow moulding apparatus for forming an article from a parison using a mould. The apparatus comprises a stretch rod assembly; an actuating mechanism for extending and retracting the stretch rod assembly in an axial direction; and a fluid injector for injecting pressurised fluid into the parison. The stretch rod assembly comprises a body and at least one deployable member located at a free end of the body. The body and the at least one deployable member are movable in the axial direction and the at least one deployable member is deployable laterally from the axial direction.
