摘要： Apparatus for transferring articles such as glass containers from a first conveyor, on which the containers are travelling generally horizontally in line one after another, on to a second conveyor extending generally at right angles to the first conveyor from one side of the first conveyor. The apparatus is operable in cycles to transfer on each cycle a group of articles from the first to the second conveyor with the articles in the group extending in a row transversely of the second conveyor. The apparatus includes a support, a first carriage on the support movable generally parallel to the second conveyor, a second carriage on the first carriage movable with respect to the first carriage generally parallel to the first conveyor, and a third carriage on the second carriage movable vertically with respect to the first and second carriages. The third carriage carries a pusher bar. The carriages are driven by separate motors under the control of a programmable controller which operates the motors during each cycle of the machine to drive the carriages to cause the pusher bar to transfer a group of articles from the first conveyor on to the second conveyor.

摘要： A pusher mechanism of an IS transfers a plurality of glass bottles onto a conveyor belt by rotating the bottles through an arc to align the bottles with the conveyor belt while simultaneously linearly moving the bottles at a converging acute angle toward the conveyor belt. The combined rotational and linear movements effectively lengthen the radius of curvature of the path of the bottles and increases the speed of the bottles onto the conveyor belt. The centrifugal force applied to the bottles is limited or reduced to allow the bottles to be more quickly moved onto the conveyor belt without introducing instabilities in the bottles. Other horizontal and vertical movements may be applied. A nozzle may be positioned to deliver a flow of air against the bottles to counteract instabilities. A take-out mechanism used with the pusher 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.

摘要翻译： IS的推动机构通过使瓶子旋转通过电弧将多个玻璃瓶传送到传送带上，以使瓶子与传送带对准，同时使瓶子以收敛的锐角朝传送带线性移动。 组合的旋转和线性运动有效地延长了瓶子的路径的曲率半径，并且增加了瓶子到传送带上的速度。 施加到瓶子上的离心力受到限制或减少，以使瓶子更快地移动到传送带上，而不会引起瓶子中的不稳定性。 可以应用其他水平和垂直运动。 喷嘴可以被定位成将空气流传送到瓶子上以抵消不稳定性。 与推动器机构一起使用的取出机构使瓶子与输送带成锐角旋转。 这种初始锐角减小了在将瓶子放置在输送机上时推动器机构必须施加的旋转量，从而减少了引入不稳定性的可能性。

摘要： A glassware forming machine includes a pair of carriers movable toward and away from each other between an open and a closed position and at least one mold member carried by each carrier. Each mold member has a bottom-facing surface and air passages extending upwardly from the bottom-facing surface for passage of air therethrough for cooling. Air is supplied to each mold half by a plenum, and the plenum has a spring feature such as to provide for an airtight seal between the bottom-facing surface of the mold member and the plenum.

摘要： Apparatus for transferring articles such as glass containers from a first conveyor, on which the containers are traveling generally horizontally in line one after another, on to a second conveyor extending generally at right angles to the first conveyor from one side of the first conveyor. The apparatus is operable in cycles to transfer on each cycle a group of articles from the first to the second conveyor with the articles in the group extending in a row transversely of the second conveyor. The apparatus includes a support, a first carriage on the support movable generally parallel to the second conveyor, a second carriage on the first carriage movable with respect to the first carriage generally parallel to the first conveyor, and a third carriage on the second carriage movable vertically with respect to the first and second carriages. The third carriage carries a pusher bar. The carriages are driven by separate motors under the control of a programmable controller which operates the motors during each cycle of the machine to drive the carriages to cause the pusher bar to transfer a group of articles from the first conveyor on to the second conveyor. A software system allows the desired motion to be plotted along each axis as a motion profile formed as a velocity versus time plot superimposed on the plots for the other axes. Before the motion plots are downloaded for use in operating the stacker, the stacker movements they represent are verified by a pictorial simulation of a stacker bar operating cycle in a video monitor.

摘要： A method and apparatus for the production of colored glass includes the steps of diverting a stream of clear molten glass from at least one glass melting furnace through one or more transport channels to a color treatment chamber. Recycled cullet and color additive are added to a charging end of the treatment chamber. The treatment chamber is heated to melt the cullet and further heat the remaining feedstock to form a molten bath of colored glass which is thermally and chemically homogenized in the treatment chamber. Refractory rotary paddle wheels positioned in the transport channels regulate the flow rate and level of the molten glass and provide for selective shut off of individual glass streams. A glass level sensor is located in an outlet channel of the treatment chamber and is electrically coupled to a programmable controller to selectively regulate the rotational speed of the paddle wheels responsive to glass level fluctuations to maintain a controlled gob weight of colored glass supplied to the glass forming machine.
