LOADER FOR A LINE FOR COATING GLASS OR CERAMIC ARTICLES

摘要

Device enabling to transfer hollow articles from a horizontal conveyor to the chain of a suspended conveyor located at a higher level and provided with supports having clamps (14) providing a lower bearing for the ring thereof. Said device is comprised of a carousel (5) synchronized with the chain of the second conveyor (1) and provided with a double assembly of pneumatic jacks, some (24) acting under the effect of a cam (30) on the clamp control members (16), others (25) carrying mountings (29) supplied from the first conveyor (3) and which, in turn, under the effect of a second cam (31), come to take place under the supports and then move aside once the latter are in mesh. The device, which avoids breakages and bad loadings, is useful on chains for treating for example glass or ceramic articles.
