Abstract
An inverter unit for a hollow glassware forming machine comprises a supporting structure; a first and a second pick-and-place arm having one or more recesses for picking up glassware and coupled to such supporting structure so as to rotate about a first axis and so as to translate along such first axis between an open position and a closed position; and a centering device having a head, which can rotate about a second axis. The centering device also has a transmission mechanism, which converts the rotary motion of the head into a translational motion of the supporting structure along the first axis with respect to a fixed base.
