Title: Improvements in Machines for the Manufacture of Bottles and the like.
Inventor: GUILLEMOT MARCEL AUBIN
IPC: C03B9/14
Filed: 1908-10-27
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 24,124. Guillemot, M. A. Oct. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Blowing.-The manufacture of each bottle is divided into four successive operations, (1) the formation and partial blowing of the parison, (2) the further blowing of the parison in an intermediate or stretching mould, (3) the final blowing in the finishing - mould, and (4) the indentation of the bottom by a bottom mould. An oscillating air - pump d and reservoir d<6> are embodied in the machine to produce the compressed air necessary for the first three operations. The various parts of the machine are driven from a shaft c<6> by cams &c. The parison mould 1, Fig. 1, which is mounted on a sleeve e<2>, is inverted by the action of a rack e<11> and pinion e'‹. The neck mould a', which is carried by a tubular shaft a<6>, is carried round with the parison mould 1, which then receives its charge of glass. The mould 1 and neck mould a<1> are turned back to the position shown, and the mould bottom e<15> raised. The neck mould is held in position during the next three operations by a catch b<2>. Air is then admitted momentarily from the reservoir d<6> by way of a cock d<8>, tube d<7>, and tubular shafts a<6> to the parison mould 1, intermediate mould 2, and finishing-mould 3. The parison is thus partly blown while still in the mould 1. The moulds 1, 2, 3 are then opened, and the central member a, carrying the shaft a<6>, is turned through a quarter of a revolution so as to bring the suspended parison opposite the intermediate mould 2, Fig. 3, which is then closed round it. Air is again admitted to the three moulds, so that the parison is expanded in the intermediate mould. The moulds are then opened, and the central member a rotated so as to bring the parison to the finishing-mould 3, where it is blown to the final shape when the cock d<8> is again opened. Blowing thus takes place simultaneously in all three moulds. The next rotation of the member a brings the blown bottle to the indenting-mould 4, Fig. 3, which rises and indents the bottom. The neck mould is opened at the same point to release the bottle by a stop i.
