Abstract: An apparatus for handling a hollow glass article and forming a finish thereon in a production line. Glass articles, such as containers, having an integrally formed moil portion on the upper end of the container body portion are loaded in sequence in an upright position into uniformly spaced chucks on the upper run of a continuously moving endless conveyor. The conveyor carries the container around a vertical end turn to enable the moil to drop freely upon severance by a burner assembly extending along the lower run of the conveyor. The conveyor is of the endless chain type with container chucks mounted upon transversely extending link pins of the chain, the chain being guided throughout its path by stationary track assemblies upon which chain carried rollers are supported. A main drive sprocket is drivingly engaged with both the upper and lower runs of the chain at a location between the end turns, while a second or slave drive sprocket engages the lower run of the chain only. Tension in that portion of the lower run of the chain between the points at which it is engaged by the main and slave sprockets is regulated by adjusting the speed of the slave drive sprocket motor relative to the main sprocket drive motor, this particular section of chain traversing the burner assembly through which a relatively high degree of chain tension is desired. Longitudinally adjustable end turn track sections, combined with the three point engagement between the sprockets and chain enable the tension in various sections of the chain to be regulated or adjusted independently of one another. Parabolic merging sections of the chain track are provided between the horizontal upper and lower runs and the curved end turn sections to minimize centripetal acceleration imparted to chucks carried by the chain as the chucks pass from the straight upper and lower runs to the curved end turn sections.

Abstract: An apparatus for handling a hollow glass article and forming a finish thereon in a production line. Glass articles, such as containers, having an integrally formed moil portion on the upper end of the container body portion are loaded in sequence in an upright position into uniformly spaced chucks on a continuously moving endless conveyor. The containers are carried through a first heating zone while being driven in rotation to achieve even thermal exposure of the containers. During transit of the first heating zone, the containers are passed around a vertical end turn to orient the containers in an inverted position, with the moil portion lowermost, as they pass along a horizontal lower run of the endless conveyor. During their transit of the lower run, the containers pass between a linear row of opposed burners which direct a high intensity row of flame jets against a narrow portion of the container body to first thermally sever the moil portion from the body and to subsequently form a beaded finish on the container. The containers are rotated during their passage through this set of burners at a controlled rate to achieve the desired finish formation. The finish is subsequently inspected and containers with malformed finishes are promptly ejected at the inspection station. Containers not ejected at the inspection station are subsequently lowered partially into the pockets of a synchronized pocket conveyor, the container chucks being opened when the container is partially inserted into the pocket to drop the container the remaining distance into the pocket.

Abstract translation: 一种处理中空玻璃制品并在生产线上形成表面的装置。 在容器主体部分的上端上具有一体形成的马氏部分的容器等玻璃制品在直立位置依次装载在连续移动的环形输送机上均匀间隔开的卡盘中。 容器在被旋转驱动的同时被运送通过第一加热区域以实现容器的均匀的热暴露。 在第一加热区的运输期间，容器围绕垂直端部转弯通过，以使容器处于相反的位置以使其位于最小的位置，当它们沿着环形输送机的水平下游行进时。 在下游过渡期间，容器通过相对的燃烧器的线性排，其将高强度的火焰喷射排引导到容器主体的狭窄部分，以首先将马氏部分从主体上切断，然后形成 在容器上串珠饰面。 容器在通过该组燃烧器的过程中以受控的速率旋转以达到所需的成品形成。 随后对整理进行检查，并在检验站迅速弹出具有不良表面的容器。 随后将不在检查站排出的容器部分地下降到同步袋式输送机的口袋中，当容器部分地插入口袋中时容器卡盘打开，从而将容器的剩余距离落入袋中。
