The mold halves include reinforcement ribs located at intervals along the outer sides of the mold halves, and a rod is mounted lengthwise along the backside of each mold half in such a manner that the reinforcement ribs are in contact with the steel rod. The ends of the rods are secured to the ends of the mold halves and the rods are held under tension and press against the center areas of the mold halves.
