The device ( ) comprises a transfer mechanism ( ) which is attached to the free ends of two parallel piston rods ( ). The associated piston-cylinder units ( ) are attached to a support structure ( ) and can be pivoted therewith in a reciprocating manner about a vertical axis ( ) by an angle of approximately 105&deg; between a dead plate ( ) and a conveyor belt ( ). Compressed air nozzles ( ) for the purpose of producing negative pressure in corners ( ) of the transfer mechanism ( ) are supplied with compressed air from a first advance chamber ( ) by way of a supply duct ( ) of the transfer mechanism ( ) and one ( ) of the piston rods and the associated piston ( ). This is performed by way of a first directional control valve ( ) from a first compressed air source ( ) of relatively low pressure. The transfer mechanism ( ) is advanced by virtue of the piston-cylinder unit ( ) by way of a second directional control valve ( ) from a second compressed air source ( ) of relatively high pressure. The transfer mechanism ( ) is retracted by influencing retraction chambers ( ) with compressed air which is taken from the second compressed air source ( ) by way of a third directional control valve ( ).

Device and method of transferring glass objects

The apparatus serves for pushing at least one of two hollow glass articles from a dead plate of a glass forming machine onto a conveyor belt. A pusher serves for this purpose, and includes a base portion and, for each glass article which is to be pushed, at least one thrust finger extending transversely to the base portion. Each thrust finger defines with the base portion a pocket for receiving the glass article. A nozzle is arranged in the region of a corner of the associated pocket. From each nozzle compressed air can be blown such that a pressure below atmospheric pressure which draws the glass article into the pocket is created between the pusher and the glass article. The compressed air is blown from the corner out between the base portion and the glass article.
