Blowing; gathering molten metal.-Relates to the type of bottle-blowing machine in which a number of blowpipes, moulds. &c. are carried upon a frame rotating about a central vertical column. Automatic mechanism is provided for compressing the blowing air, gathering the glass, marvering, cracking the blown article off the blowpipe, and removing the congealed glass from the blowpipe ready for the next gather. Each blowpipe 22 rotates on its axis, and is mounted on an horizontal shaft supported in a frame 16, which swings on a vertical pivot 18 on the main rotating frame 7. The motion of the blowpipe combined with that of the frames 7, 16 causes the blowpipe to dip into the melting-tank and then to swing upwards and roll the gather on a water-cooled marver 36. The blowpipe is then swung down into a vertical position, and its upper end is presented to an orifice 29 communicating with a compressed-air reservoir 15, which is charged by pumps 10. The mould 39 is lifted from the cooling-tank 45 and closed round the blank, which is then blown. The mould is opened and the bottle cracked round the neck and knocked off the end of the blowpipe automatically. The glass adhering to the blowpipe end is then knocked off by two rotating arms, and the blowpipe is again inserted in the furnace for gathering. A small air-pump is provided in connexion with each blowpipe, to provide a puff of air which distends the blank somewhat, prior to the final blowing. In a modification, a spiral marver is employed. In a further modification, the blowpipes are removed from the machine and the gathering is performed by hand. In this case, a special handle is employed to enable the operator to rotate the blowpipe readily during gathering.
