Abstract

276,556. Dunlop, S., (Europõischer Verband der Flaschenfabriken Ges.). Jan. 14, 1927. Delivering molten metal.-A feeder is provided with a device which momentarily supports and shapes the column of glass as it issues from the outlet, the device being moved clear of the glass before it has appreciably chilled. The feeder comprises a forehearth 11 projecting from a tank furnace, and the metal issues from an outlet. 12 in the floor of the forehearth. The discharge of the glass is assisted by the reciprocations of a plunger 14 and the issuing column of glass is cut into " gobs " by shears operating close beneath the outlet. According to the invention, the end of the column is supported for a short time by a cup 50, carried by a lever 51, which is swung upwards close against the outlet 12. The cup also shapes the end of the issuing column of glass, and to assist this operation, suction is applied through a pipe 57 to the lower end of the cup. As soon as the column of glass is shaped, the cup is swung downwards and a " gob " is cut off by the shears.
