Abstract: There is disclosed an applicator and method for applying transfers such as heat transfers, decals or labels to transfer-receptive materials. The applicator has a lightweight, T-shaped, sheet metal support or frame having an applicator station. A motorized supply roll unwind and a motorized take-up roll rewind are mounted on the support to hold supply and take-up rolls, to tension the transfer-containing web and to advance the web onto the take-up roll after the transfer has been applied at the applicator station.

Abstract: A machine for gaging the inner diameter and outer diameter of a bottle opening comprising a telescoping gage including an inner plug gage and an outer ring gage. The plug gage includes a plug gage tube with a plug gage at one end. The ring gage includes a ring gage tube with a ring gage at one end, a support set-up for supporting the plug gage tube for axial displacement within the ring gage tube including a first annular collar secured to the inner diameter of the ring gage tube, a second annular collar secured to the outer diameter of the plug gage tube. A first spring compressively located between the collars urges the plug gage tube to a fully advanced position.

Abstract: A machine for inspecting a glass bottle comprising a bottle supporting track, a car for conveying a bottle along the track to a bottle inspection station. The car includes rollers for rotatably engaging one side of the bottle and a wall mechanism forcefully engages the other side of the bottle as it is conveyed to the bottle inspection station. The wall mechanism includes a pivotally displaceable support, which is biased towards a fully advanced position. Linear bumpers secured to the support extend into the path of a conveyed bottle when the support is at the fully advanced position so that a bottle will engage the linear bumpers and forcefully pivotally displace the support to a retracted position as the bottle is conveyed to the inspection station. The length of the linear bumpers is selected so that when a bottle is conveyed to the inspection station, the bottle will be conveyed past the linear bumpers whereby the support will be displaced back to the fully advanced position.
