A GOB DISTRIBUTOR FOR CONVENING IN A PRE SELCTED SEQUENCE SUCCESSIVELY FORMED GROUPS OF GLASS GOBS TO FIXED TROUGH GROUPS

摘要

pA gob distributor for directing glass gobs to glassware-forming sections. Most particularly, this relates to the automatic positioning of scoops receiving the glass gobs from the glassmaking apparatus and directing them into troughs of glassware-forming sections which are arranged in a bank. The gob distributor features an arrangement wherein the distributor may be converted to vary the number of scoops in a scoop group from one to three or more. A principal feature of the gob distributor is the utilization of a servomotor which is a reversible DC motor for positioning a rack which controls the angle of the scoops./p[US4599101A]
