Abstract: The upstream end of a rectangular glass melting furnace is provided with a doghouse of isosceles trapezoidal shape having three openings through which batch material is introduced in discrete elongated masses, or charges by three batch chargers. Two out of three batch chargers in these openings are operated simultaneously in a predetermined sequence. The two side batch chargers operate along angularly related lines of action which converge with one another at a point also located on the line of action of the center batch charger. During operation of the two angularly related side chargers a composite batch, or mass, is formed so as to travel in a downstream direction in the furnace, and by operation of the center batch charger with one or the other of the two side batch chargers a composite mass or batch is directed angularly outwardly with respect to the downstream direction. Thus, operation of three batch chargers, in pairs, in a sequential fashion, provides a convenient means and method for charging a furnace at a rate double the rate possible with a single charger, or with two chargers operated alternately. Further, the three chargers can be operated in alternate pairs at their respective optimum speeds to provide the desired distribution of batch across the furnace.

Abstract translation: 矩形玻璃熔炉的上游端设置有具有三个开口的等腰梯形形状的小屋，通过该开口将批量材料引入离散的细长质量块中，或者通过三个批量充电器进行充电。 这些开口中的三个批量充电器中的两个以预定顺序同时操作。 两侧批量充电器沿着也位于中心批量充电器的作用线上的点彼此收敛的角度相关的线路相互作用。 在两个角度相关的侧面充电器的操作期间，复合批料或质量形成为在炉中沿下游方向行进，并且通过使用两个侧批式充电器中的一个或另一个的中心批量充电器a 复合质量或批料相对于下游方向成角度地向外定向。 因此，以顺序的方式成对地操作三批充电器提供了用单个充电器或者交替操作的两个充电器以两倍的速率对炉充电的方便和方法。 此外，三个充电器可以以各自的最佳速度以交替对的方式操作，以提供批次跨过炉的期望分布。

Abstract: A FEEDER BOWL IS MOUNTED AT ONE END OF A GLASS FEEDING FURNACE, OR FOREHEARTH, AND A RECIPROCATING MECHANISM FEEDS SUCCESSIVE GOBS OF MOLTEN GLASS DOWNWARDLY THROUGH AN OUTLET SPOUT IN THE BOWL. ELECTRODE MEANS IN THE FEEDER BOWL IS MAINTAINED AT A RELATIVELY HIGH POTENTIAL, AND ELECTRIC CURRENT FLOWS DOWNWARDLY THEREFROM TOWARD A PRIMARY ANNULAR ELECTRODE ADJACENT THE OUTLET SPOUT. AN AUXILIARY ANNULAR ELECTRODE, LOCATED BELOW THE PRIMARY ONE, DEFINES THE OUTLET SPOUT AND IS MAINTAINED AT GROUND POTENTIAL TO PREVENT ARCING BETWEEN THE GLASS GOB BEING EJECTED THROUGH THE SPOUT AND THE GLASS GOB SHEARING APPARATUS NORMALLY PROVIDED BELOW THE FEEDER BOWL.
