Apparatus for the thermal tempering of hollow glassware and temperhead used therefor

摘要

An installation is claimed for thermal quenching of hollow glassware in which the articles (1) to be treated are displaced longitudinally in a lengthy equipment incorporating a primary zone (11) in which the articles (1) are reheated followed by a quenching zone. This quenching zone is created by:-a) a zone (12) in which some quenching heads (2) are lowered in order that each surmounts an article (1) and translationally driven in synchronisation with the articles (1); b) a zone (13) in which the individual quenching of each article is assured; c) a zone (14) in which the quenching heads (2) are raised; and d) a zone (15) in which the cooling of the articles (1) is completed. The quenching head used in this installation is also claimed.
