Abstract
In a multi-section I.S. glassware article forming machine including handling and forming means such as a molten glass feeder, a glass gob cutting mechanism, glass gob distributor, article molding means, a take out apparatus to bring the green articles out of the molding means, a 90.degree. push out apparatus to bring the finished articles to a carrier conveyor, and a transfer apparatus for transferring the finished articles to a cross conveyor in order for a pusher apparatus to transfer rows of articles to a lehr; synchronizaiton of the velocity of both the 90.degree. push-out apparatus and of the carrier conveyor of each and every section of said I.S. glassware article forming machine is set and controlled at will by sensing the velocity of operation of the glass gob cutting mechanism, of the 90.degree. push-out apparatus and of the carrier conveyor of the machine, as well as of the number of containers per time unit passing at the end of said carrier conveyor, through suitable sensor means associated therewith providing signals representative of the sensed parameters, and combining them, by means of a data processor through an algorithm contained in its memory, with the data of the sequence of triggering of the same mechanisms and of the desired spacing between the containers, fed through an operator panel associated with said data processor, to provide the necessary synchronization control signals for said 90.degree. push-out apparatus and said carrier conveyor.
