Abstract: An article transfer mechanism to transfer glass articles between a receiving position and a delivering position, in straight line, between one or various sections of a process of manufacture of glass articles. The mechanism includes a frame. Guide shafts attached to said frame. A sliding support attached at said guide bars. A first planetary transmission coupled between said drive means and the sliding support, which through of a rotational movement of the transmission, the sliding support is moved in a straight line, with a backward-forward movement over said guide bars. A second planetary transmission coupled to said first planetary transmission, through the sliding support to generate a far larger stroke of the transfer mechanism.
