APPARATUS FOR PUSHING GLASS ARTICLES ONTO A BELT CONVEYOR

摘要

An apparatus intended for pushing hollow glass articles from a depositing plate of an IS glass moulding machine onto a belt conveyor that moves rectilinearly at a uniform speed comprises a transfer pusher (11), one end of which is rigidly connected to a vertical shaft (10) and the other end of which carries an arrangement of pushing fingers (12) intended for contacting the hollow glass articles to be pushed. The shaft (10) is supported in a rotary table (6) and functionally connected to a first rotary drive (13) carried by the rotary table while the rotary plate (6) is mounted on a bell-shaped bearing (24) supported on a console (1) by means of a hollow shaft (22) extending parallel to the axis of the shaft (10), namely such that it is functionally connected to a second rotary drive (15"). An approximately exponential transfer curve of the pushing fingers (12) that begins at the depositing plate and ends on the belt conveyor and subjects the hollow glass articles to the least possible stress can be realized with simple means by controlling the two rotary drives (13,15").
