Abstract: An apparatus for loading and unloading glass articles from an article cutting machine where the glass remainders of the said glass articles are removed during the manufacturing process. Said apparatus comprising: a supporting structure with a vertical shaft; means of rotating transference that are attached in axial coincidence with the said vertical shaft in order to hold and transport the articles; cams attached to the vertical shaft, wherein said transference means are placed in order to determine, through the cams the path that must be imparted to the said transference means; and drive means attached to the said transference means in order to make them rotate in a predetermined time relationship, at the stations positions of reception, feeding and delivery of articles.

Abstract: A machine for trimming hollow glass articles includes a support in which a semi-finished article is held stationary and immovable, and a pair of split oscillatory burners for flame cutting at least one excess end of the semi-finished article, the burners being oscillatable relative to the stationary article in order to effect the required flame cutting operation.
