摘要:
Apparatus for transferring articles such as glass containers (A) from a first conveyor (3), on which the containers (A) are travelling generally horizontally in line one after another, on to a second conveyor (5) extending generally at right angles to the first conveyor (3) from one side of the first conveyor (3). The apparatus is operable in cycles to transfer on each cycle a group of articles (A) from the first conveyor (3) to the second conveyor (5) with the articles in the group extending in a row transversely of the second conveyor (5). The apparatus includes a support (13), a first carriage (15) on the support (13) movable generally parallel to the second conveyor (5), a second carriage (17) on the first carriage (15) movable with respect to the first carriage (15) generally parallel to the first conveyor (3), and a third carriage (19) on the second carriage (17) movable vertically with respect to the first and second carriages. The third carriage (19) carries a pusher bar (125). The carriages are driven by separate motors (43,81,117) under the control of a programmable controller (51) which operates the motors (43,81,117) during each cycle of the machine to drive the carriages (15,17,19) to cause the pusher bar (125) to transfer a group of articles (A) from the first conveyor (3) on to the second conveyor (5).
摘要:
Plunger mechanism (20) for use in forming a parison (28) from a gob of fluid glass in a mold cavity (30) of an individual section (IS) (26) of a glassware forming machine is fully pneumatically controlled. The plunger mechanisms (20) may be of either a blow-and-blow or press-and-blow type. The plunger mechanism (20) is suspended from the frame (24) of the IS (26) by a plunger case assembly (22). The plunger case assembly (22) allows the plunger mechanisms (20) to be easily interchanged or replaced, to be adjusted to accommodate different types of operation and sizes and configurations of glass article produced, while communicating pressurized air to the plunger mechanisms (20) to achieve these effects. After formation of the parison (28) in the mold cavity (30) the cavity halves (32) separate and the parison (28) is transferred to a blow mold cavity (38) in which the glassware is formed.
摘要:
A cooling system for a glassware forming machine in which air is delivered to each of two plenums (27) for upward flow of air through vertical passages (19, 21) in mold members (1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 5A, 5B) on the plenums (27) from an air outlet (71) in the base (11) of the machine via a lower section (81) of flexible corrugated metal tubing, a rigid tube (85) having a sliding sealing fit in the upper end of the lower section (81), and an upper section (83) of flexible corrugated sheet metal tubing connecting to the plenum (27).
摘要:
A pusher mechanism of a bottle forming machine transfers a plurality of glass bottles onto a belt by rotating the bottles through an arc to align the bottles with the belt (72) while moving the bottles at a converging acute angle toward the belt. The movements increase the radius of the path and the speed of the bottles. The centrifugal effect applied to the bottles by the pusher mechanism is limited or reduced without introducing instabilities in the bottles. A nozzle (290) is positioned to counteract instabilities. A takeout mechanism rotates the bottles at an acute angle to the conveyor belt. This initial acute angle reduces the amount of rotation which the pusher mechanism must impart when placing the bottles on the conveyor, thus reducing the possibility of introducing instabilities.
摘要:
A cooling system for a glassware forming machine in which air is delivered to each of two plenums for upward flow of air through vertical passages in mold members on the plenums from an air outlet in the base of the machine via a tubular air dust having its lower end axially slidable in a part-spherical knuckle mounted for universal movement in an annular bearing in the air outlet having an internal part-spherical surface,and its upper end externally formed with a part-spherical formation mounted for universal movement in a part-spherical annular bearing at the bottom of the plenum.

The apparatus is operable in cycles to transfer on each cycle a group of articles (A) from the first conveyor (3) to the second conveyor (5) with the articles in the group extending in a row transversely of the second conveyor (5).
