Abstract

1,208,500. Endless conveyers; packaging glass tubes. CORNING GLASS WORKS. 18 Dec., 1968 [26 Dec., 1967], No. 60168/68. Headings B8A and B8C. [Also in Divisions F2 and G1] Apparatus for automatically inspecting, sorting and packaging glass tubes 10 comprises conveyers 12, 18 which advance the tubes to star wheels 20 at each end of the tubes. The star wheels deliver the tubes to chucks 24 which grip the tubes whilst gauging devices examine the ends of the tubes. Satisfactory tubes drop from the chuck between guides 50, 52 on to a supply rail 44 where they are moved by conveyers 116, 48 to a stacker supply shelf 120. Unsatisfactory tubes cause the gauge to supply a signal to the guides 50 which move towards the guides 52 thereby causing the rejected tubes to be delivered to a conveyer 56. A by-pass gate 16 may be operated to direct the tubes directly from the conveyer 12 to the conveyer 56 via a conveyer 27. Three switches (118), Fig. 13 (not shown), are located above the rail 44 so that if a build up of tubes occurs, thus causing each of the switches to be simultaneously actuated, a signal is transmitted to the guides 50 to divert following tubes to the reject conveyer 56. The conveyer 48 has spring loaded pegs 46 so that in the event of a tube build up the pegs pass over the tubes. Eight jigs 122 are intermittently advanced by a chain 124 to the shelf 120 where they are automatically filled with seven rows of nine tubes. The jigs then advance to a capping station where end caps 136 are placed on the ends of the stack of tubes. The end caps are stored on four horizontal guide rails 138 and are advanced singly by a cylinder 150 having suction cups 152. A photo-cell 146 detects the presence of a cap to prevent further forward movement of the supply of end caps by a motor 142. The cylinder 150 is longitudinally movable and is rotated about an axis 154 so that the caps, which have four flaps supported by arms 156, are placed on the ends of the stack of tubes. End cap brackets 158 are lowered around each end cap to maintain the caps on the stacks before the bundles reach a station where they are tied with string. After tieing, the bundle is ejected by a bundle ejector to a conveyer 166.
