    摘要: An apparatus and method for manufacturing glass containers handles the containers individually after a hot forming process and annealing to prevent glass-to-glass contact. By handling the containers individually and preventing glass-to-glass contact damage to the containers in the form of checks and scratches is avoided. To prevent contact of the containers and damage arising from the contact, the equipment including conveyors, pushers, starwheels, shuttles, and transfer heads that move the glass containers through the apparatus maintains the glass containers in uniform spaced relationship at each stage of container processing until the containers are packaged.

    摘要: Apparatus for engaging and holding a non-oriented hot glass container of predetermined square cross sectional contour and closed end that includes a chuck having an open end for receiving the container and an internal valve plate for abutment with the end of the container received in the chuck. The chuck is coupled to a cam-operated arm for lowering the chuck over a container. A transition plate has a square opening contoured to be closely received over the square cross section of the container, and is mounted for free rotation adjacent to the open end of the chuck. Guide fingers project from the plate away from the open end of the chuck so as to engage the container end as the chuck is lowered over the container, and to rotate the plate relative to the chuck so that the plate opening is aligned with the square cross section of the container end. A vacuum is applied to the valve plate within the chuck for holding the container end against the valve plate. Close fit between the transition plate opening and the square cross section of the container restricts flow of air through the opening past the container, and thereby improves the ability to retain and hold the container within the chuck.

    摘要: Apparatus is described for conveying newly formed, hot bottles from the forming machine to an annealing lehr which is conventionally positioned with its lehr mat or belt running in a direction parallel to the movement of the transfer conveyor. The transfer conveyor surface is driven at a first speed as it passes in front of the multiple section glass forming machine. After passing the machine sections, the conveyor, made of a plurality of horizontal links, has the individual, successive links moved closer together to, in effect, shorten the length of the link belt conveyor. This shortening is the result of the drive for the link belt conveyor being discontinued just after the belt is engaged from beneath by a magnetic link belt chain driven at a slower speed. The chain is guided in a first straight line parallel to the machine conveyor direction and then guided through a 90.degree. arc to pass in front of the lehr so the bottles can be transferred from the conveyor surface to the lehr mat with a lehr loader. The system described above may be doubled so that two conveyors are provided to carry the bottles to the lehr and thus the speed of the conveyors does not need to be as fast and the bottles are more stable during transfer.

    摘要翻译: 描述了用于将新形成的热瓶从成型机输送到退火退火炉的装置,其常规地定位,其退火炉垫或带沿平行于输送输送机的运动的方向延伸。 传送输送机表面在通过多段玻璃成型机前面时以第一速度被驱动。 在通过机器部分之后,由多个水平连杆制成的输送机具有单独的连续的连杆移动得更靠近在一起,实际上缩短了连接带输送机的长度。 这种缩短是由于在由较低速度驱动的磁链节带链从皮带接合之后连接带式输送机的驱动被停止的结果。 链条沿平行于机器输送机方向的第一条直线引导,然后被引导通过90°弧,以通过退火炉前方,以便瓶子可以使用退火炉装载机从输送机表面转移到雷尔垫。 上述系统可以加倍,使得提供两个输送机将瓶运送到退火炉,因此输送机的速度不需要如此快,并且瓶子在转移期间更稳定。
