There is provided a plunger position detector for detecting a linear position of a plunger used for forming a parison over the entire range of moving of the plunger. Since there is correlation between the plunger position and the gob weight, the gob weight can be detected in response to an output signal of this detector and, in accordance with this detection, a gob forming operation is controlled to an optimum state so that the gob weight will become a predetermined weight. Since difference in center positions between a blank mold for forming a parison and the plunger causes variation in the state of movement of the plunger, this difference in the center positions can be detected in response to a plunger position detection signal and, in accordance with this detection, an optimum registering of the center positions can be performed.

This invention provides improvements in method of and apparatus for reducing an emitted amount of particulates by collecting the particulates contained in the exhaust gas from a diesel engine by a trapper. According to the invention, firstly, an excess amount of the particulates which have adhered to the trapper is detected, and thereafter, temperature of the trapper being within a range of self-burning temperature of the particulates is detected. When necessity for regenerating the trapper is ascertained based on the both detections described above, the inlet side of the trapper is heated to a range of igniting temperature of the particulates, whereby a large igniting energy required for propagating combustion is accumulated. Thereafter, secondary air is supplied to the trapper to ignite the particulates, and combustion is propagated to the particulates being within the range of self-burning temperature thereof by the secondary air continuously supplied, to thereby regenerate the trapper.
