Abstract
A gob distributor for machines for the shaping of articles of glass and other materials, which comprises basically a curved distributor scoop for each of the gobs which are supplied simultaneously by the doser, each of which scoops has its upper end aligned at all times with each respective orifice of the doser and is moved angularly in such a manner that its lower end coincides, in a predetermined order, with the upper ends of the fixed channels of the machine which conduct the gobs to the respective cavities of the individual sections of the machine; fastening means integrated in the upper end of each curved distributor scoop; a housing or support frame; a drive member and an auxiliary member which are linked movably to each other, which comprise fastening means on their inner part and which by their fastening means rotatably support the curved distributor scoops between them in a dependent linear relationship; linking means coupled to the drive and auxiliary members which oscillate on central pivots fastened to the housing or support frame in such a manner that by movements of advance and retraction of the drive member which are transmitted inversely to the auxiliary member by the linking means the distributor scoops are caused to turn angularly to predetermined delivery positions; a connecting rod articulately coupled at one of its ends to the drive member; and a positioner coupled to the other end of the connecting rod to impart the regulated movements of advance and retraction to the connecting rod and to the drive member so as to turn the curved scoops through an angle to the predetermined delivery position in a programmed sequence with precise movements between the different sections of the machine.
