  • Publication number: 20130087431
    Abstract: A device for pushing glass objects onto a conveyor belt consists of a pusher (5), which is supported on a crank arm (6) in such a way that it can be swiveled about an axis (7), which crank arm is in driving engagement with a first electric motor (1) by means of a shaft (12) and a spur-gear transmission. A second electric motor (2) is in driving engagement with a sleeve (20) by means of a cantilever (18), in which sleeve the shaft (12) is mounted, wherein the shaft (12) can be swiveled about a central stationary axis (19).

  • Patent number: 8381898
    Abstract: An apparatus for pushing hollow glass articles from a depositing plate of an IS glass molding machine onto a belt conveyor 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 for the glass articles. 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), namely such that it is functionally connected to a second rotary drive (15?). An approximately exponential transfer curve of the pushing fingers 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.

  • Publication number: 20120111424
    Abstract: A module for transferring a component of an I. S. glass molding machine, such as a blow head, between a first position and a second position along a transfer curve. The transfer curve includes a first partial movement consisting of a pivot movement around a horizontally extending axis and a second partial movement consisting of a vertically oriented linear movement in which the blow head is moved to its active position, resting to form a seal on the mouth area of a mold.

  • Publication number: 20120009048
    Abstract: 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?).

  • Publication number: 20100058808
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supplying lubricating points of an I.S. glassware forming machine, wherein a used lubrication system comprises a plurality of lubricant metering devices (29) that are provided to output lubricant to a plurality of lubricating points, that are to be lubricated, of the glassware forming machine and are allocated in each case to one of several lubrication circuits (23-28). The lubricant metering devices of a respective lubrication circuit simultaneously output a predetermined amount of lubricant in each case cyclically with a time interval allocated to the lubrication circuit. The lubricant metering devices are allocated to lubrication circuits in dependence upon temperatures that have been measured in direct proximity to lubricating points, and are allocated such that the temperatures of the lubricating points of a lubrication circuit are within a predetermined temperature range.
