Title: Improvements relating to the Production of Articles of Glass and to Apparatus therefor.
IPC: C03B9/38
Filed: 1905-07-10
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 14,184. Lake, H. H., [Toledo Glass Co.]. July 10. Blowing and moulding bottles; gathering metal; shearing. - Relates to a multiple machine for blowing glass bottles &c. The parison mould 54, Fig. 1, neck mould 63, and finishing mould 140 are carried by an horizontally rotating frame 8, and are operated by levers &c. connected with cam-plates 145, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 rigidly attached to a non- rotating column 15. The frame 8 is driven from a motor 4 by gearing. The parison mould 54 is first lowered till it reaches the surface of the metal in the tank 46. To effect this, the frame 8 is carried by a non-rotating frame 12 to which a vertical reciprocating motion is imparted by pinions 41 engaging racks 43 attached to two sliding rods 16 which carry the frame 12. The weight of the frame 12 &c. is balanced by weights 22 attached to ropes 20, which pass over fixed sheaves 21 and under sheaves 19 carried by the rods 16. The pinions 41 are operated by a rocking lever 40, connected with a cam 37, which is driven by the motor 4. The height of the frame 12 &c. is adjusted by nuts 44, Fig. 2, which rotate in the sleeves carrying the racks 43 and are screwed on the rods 16. While the parison mould 54. is in contact with the metal, the action of the cam 27 opens a valve 86 which connects the mould with an annular vacuum chamber 87, thereby causing the metal to fill the mould, as shown in Fig. 10. The frame 12 then rises, and the excess of metal is cut off by a knife 120 actuated by the cam 26. As the frame 8 continues to rotate, the action of the cams opens the parison mould 54, withdraws the neck rod 92, raises the finishing mould 140 to the position shown in Fig. 12 and on the left of Fig. 1, and moves a slide valve 106 so as to admit compressed air. While the bottle is being blown, the neck rod is kept hot by a gas jet 2, Fig. 12, and the halves of the parison mould are cooled by currents of air from two pipes 154 and from passages in the arms 53 which support the mould sections. The neck mould and finishing mould are then opened and the finished bottle discharged. To prevent the mechanism from being strained or broken, the rods connecting the moulds &c. with the cams, are provided with springs, which would be compressed if the mould were prevented from closing completely by hardened glass lodging in the joints &c. The moulds and neck rods are detachably connected to their supports, so that they may be exchanged for others of different shape or size.
