This invention relates to an independently operating bottle blowing machine having several preliminary and finishing blowing molds mounted on one single table.

Bottle blowing machines are already known, i

which operate with several head, preliminary and finishing blowing molds but they are mainly dependent on large mechanical auxiliary plant such as compressors, vacuum pumps, etc. They can however only be employed in connection with special melting furnaces and are also adapted only for making large quantities and special bottles. N ow according to the machine forming the sub'ect matter of this invention it is v J 'line c0l hf Fig. 8

possible to make-any shape of bottle and also different shapes of'bottles simultaneously without special melting and compressor plants, etc., being necessary. The bottles are made absolutely. automatically except that a workman mustintroduce the liquid glass mass.

The essential features 'of the herein described machine are that allmovements of the various parts efi'eeting the formation .of the glassbottle,'such as the opening and closing of the preliminary and finishing molds, the swinging out, opening and closing of the head mold, the lowering and raising of the closing lids and blowing heads, the cutting off of the liquid glass, the 1nsertion' of the core, themovement of the pistons in the suction and pressure cylinders as well as the discharge of the finished bottle from the finishing mold are effected by-cam disks which are mounted on one single driving shaft of the machine and act on lever and wheel mechanisms by means of rollers. The machine may be driven by motor,-belt, worm or the like. One single machine ma be driven, or two pairs coupled side by side in battery form, .or 4 or more machines arranged around a column like a Whirligig. I i The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings byway of example.

. Each individual machine consists of an upper-table 1 and a lower table 2, which are secured together by intermediate pieces 3 (see Fig.4) and by a bushing 4. v The bushing 4 is rotatably mounted on the standard or central column 5, around which the single machines are situated. For facilitating therotation, ball bearings 6 and 7are also fitted above and below between the bushing 4 and the column *5. On the lower part' of the column 5 is mounted a conical toothed rim 8, which engages with each bevel wheel 9 of a machine. On the lower table 2 of each machine is provided a bear-- ing block 10, adapted forreceiving one of l the pins 13 of the axle of-the bevel wheels 9 while the other pin is mounted in the to the bearing blocks 10 anda worm 12 mounted on the frame of the column 5 en gages 'in the said'rim (Figs 4). By the driving of the worm 12, the worm wheel rim 11 andalso the tables 1 and 2, .etc.,.of the bushing 4. A Warm wheel rim 11 is secured machine are in rotation, so that' the ta- 'bles move around'the central column 5.

The bevel wheels 9 are also provided with a front toothed wheel rim 9. The toothed rims -9 mesh with thesintermediate Wheels 14, which are mounted on the intermediate pieces 3 of the tables 1 and A shaft 16 7 .is mounted between the tables and a toothed "whee1'15 is mounted on the shaft and engages with the intermediate wheel 14. I By the rotation of'the bevel wheels 9, the shaft '16 mounted'in each machine will also be set in, rotation. I

If a machine arm is driven separately, the

toothed wheels 15 and 14 will be dispensed with. In substitution thereof, the shaft 16 is extended outward and a pulley 150 (Fig.

2) or'a worm wheel is mounted thereon.

I The machine maythen also be provided flwith'running wheels 151,-as shown in Figs.-

' 1, 3 and 8-10.

On -th shaft 16 of each individual ma- 3 jchine arm-mounted a number of cam disks 17 26f(Fi g.l-3)'fby' which the different v p I the machine are 'efiected, the disks being adapted to operate the parts as follows: i

; The disk 24 is adapted to operate the sucand also to the finished The disk 26 effects the closing and open-,

ing of the finishing mold 75 (Fig. 2

The operation of the various cam-disks .and-themechanism in connection therewith are hereinafter fully described.

" Bythe'rotation of he shaft ii superposed cam disk'23 "(see Fi +6) a roller 28 is driven, which is fidjusta ly mounted on a lever 29 keyed upon the shaft 30. v Ifthe disk 23 with its fabutment23 abuts the roller 28, the latter will be shifted laterally to the heightiof the abutment, whereby a rotation, of the shaft 30 with the leverarms 31 i and 32 secured thereon takes place (see Figs. 6 and 2). Rods 33 and34 are connected to 16 with the the upper ends of the lever arms 31 and 32 by the interposition of balancing springs also connected to The 34, such rods being cranked levers 35 and 36 (Fig. 2.).

cranked levers 35 and 36 are rotatably mounted on pins 37 and 38 secured to the machine frame and engage with their free ends, through the medium of intermediate pieces 39 and 40 (Fig. 2 the halvesof the two-part, adjustable preliminarymold 41.

' The preliminary mold 41' will therefore be closed by the above-mentioned rotation of .the shaft effected by the .cam disk 23.

At the same moment, the abutment of the cam disk- 22 (Fig. 6) has depressed the roller 42 of the double-armed lever 43 adapted to rotate on the-pin 44', whereby the lower arm 'of the lever 43, which is connectedto the vertical core rod 45 (Fig. 6) will be moved upward, so that thg neck core 46 (i. e., the calibrated core determining the neck opening of the bottle) mounted on the core rod 45 must enter the head mold 47 and preliminary mold 41.-

The disk 24 (Fig. 8) mounted-on the shaft 16 is provided with a groove (Fig. 3) wherein a roller 48 runs, which is mounted on "the cranked lever 50 adapted to oscillate 011' the adjustable pin 49. As soon as the neck core 46 enters the head mold 47 (Fig. 6'), the roller 48 (Fig. 8 will be drawn inward to the shaft 161) t e rotation of the disk 24,

whereby the lever 50 will be rotated. The

free armof the lever 50 is connected to" the piston rod 51 of the suction piston 52, so that by the oscillation of the lever 50, the piston 52-will be reciprocated in thecylinder 53 secured to the machine frame. The cylinder 53 is connected to the core casing 54 (Fig. 6), by a channel, sothat a vacuum is produced in the core casing 54 by the downward movement of the piston 52. Since the preliminary mold 41 is conlfected directly to the core casing, the suction of the piston 52 will cause the liquid lass in the preliminary mold 41 to be suck core 46.

free end of the said lever arm is connected on both' sides with the connecting rods 90 and 91' (see Fig. 7 ).-'The rods 90 and 91 ed or drawn around the -A vertical lever ,89.-.(Fig. 6) is connected to the lower table 20f the machine and the engage with the knife levers 92 and 93,

which are adapted to oscillate on a pin 94. The free armsf the levers 92 and 93 are made in the for-mof knife edges 96 and 97.

' If, through thelrotation of the shaft 16, the

disk 24 bears with: its cam 95 (Fig. 6) against the projection'89 of. the lever 89, the vlever 89 swings out. and consequently, the knife levers 92 and 93ialsomake a swinging move;- ment' and cut off the glass ball from the ladle or the gathering ironused by the workman-i; For .the purpose of automatically returning the knives 96 and 97' to theirposiweaned .tion of rest, there is Connected to thelever 89 3 off the ball of glass by hand.

\ (Fig. 6) a spring 98, whose other end is attached to the table 1. The knife lever 93 has an extension in the form of a handle 93- (Fig. 7) so that the workman can also out When the piston 52 (Fig. 8) has reached its low position, the roller 42 leaves the abutment of the disk 22 (Fig. 6) and the core carrier 45 with the core 46 returns through its own weight to its position of rest.

At the same time, a -roller 56, which is mounted on a cranked lever 58 will be shifted by the cam disk 18 (Fig. 10) the said lever being adapted to oscillate on a pin 57 mounted on the table 2 of the machine. The free end of the lever 58 is connected by a vertical rod 59 (Figs. 10 and 1) to the double lever 61 carrying the closing lid 60 (Fig. 1) of the prellminary mold. The lever 61 oscillates on the pin 61 of a stationary vertical column 61 and is adjustably connected with its free end to the vertical rod 6O which carries the closing lid or cover 60 of the preliminary mold. For effecting a parallel motion, a second "lever arm 61 is provided between the rod 60 and the column 61. By the action of the roller 56 of the lever 58 (Fig. 10) and rod 59, the lever arms 61 and 61 can therefore be brought into a horizontal position, the lid or cover 60 being firmly fixed on and closing the preliminary mold 41. i i

The disk 24 (Fig. 8) has meanwhile rotated to such an extent that the roller 48 is forced outward, so that through the medium of the lever 50, the piston 52 (Fig. 8) will 7 be forcedinto its highest position and consequently the previously drawn in air will be let into the cavity left behind by the neck core 46 in the glass, whereby the preliminary blowing of the bottle takes place.

Provision has been made for a special regulating device (shown in Figs. 8 and 8*) whereby neither too much nor too little air is preliminarily blown in the preliminary mold, for otherwise the eiiiciency of the machine and also the quality of the bottles would be materially affected. For regulating purposes, an adjustability of the pivot 49 and the engaging position of the roller 48 of the lever 50 is provided for.- 1

For this purpose, the bushes 143 and 144 are placed over the pivot 49, the lever 50 being rotatable on the bush 144, while the bush .143 can be moved ina longitudinal slot 49 of a bearing 49 secured to the frame of the machine. The flanges 180 and 181 of the bushes bear on both sides against the front faces of the bearing 49 so that when tightening the screw 145 of the pivot, the flanges are drawn together without clamping the boss 182 of the lever 50, the saidboss being situated between the enlarged front disk of the pivot 49 andzthe flange 180 of the bush out affecting the and provided at the opposite ends with heads which enter the slot 184 in the bushing 143. The threaded ends of the bolts 146 and 147 are engaged by nuts 186. By moving the nuts up or down on the threaded ends of the bolts 146, 174, the heads of the latter will allow to be raised or lower the bushing 143 in the slot 49". After the bushing 143 has been thus adjusted, the nut 145 is screwed home, thus clamping the bushing 143 in adjusted position.

By these means, the operation 2'. e. the pre liminary' blowingo the glass ball, can be regulated by the adjustment of the roller 48 in connection with the bearing bolt 49 with total capacity of the machine and the other mechanism. The possibility is thus afforded that the preliminary blown glass ball, according to the quality or nature of the glass mass, is cooled in the preliminary mold until the opening of the latter, in order that the same permits a substitution of the preliminary or finishing blowing mold for the head mold and enables a good distribution of the glass, which is of special importance. 9

The disk 24 of the shaft 16 has a cam 24* (Fig. 6) which is adapted to engage with a roller 62 of a lever 63*. The lever 63 is adapted to rotate loosely on the shaft 79 mounted horizontally on the machine frame and has a projecting bolt or pin 63, which extends into the longitudinal hole of a lever arm 63 keyed on to the preliminary mold shaft 30. Owing to the raising of the roller 62 by the abutment 24 of the disk 24, the lever arm 63 will also be raised through the medium of 30 will be returned with the levers 31 and 32 mounted thereon. Since the levers 31 and 32, as above described, are connected to the halves 41 (Fig. 2) of the preliminary mold,

the preliminary mold 41 will be opened by the preliminary mold 41.

The cam disk 20 (Fig. 9) of the shaft 16 l l 0 the bolt 63, so that the shaft I is also provided with-a groove 64 (Fig. 3)

' wherein shaft 16, the disk 26 the roller 6510f a cranked lever 66 runs. The latter is rotatably mounted on the pin 67 andconnected with its free end by a rod 68 (Fig. 9)'- to a toothed segment 69, which oscillates on a pin70 of the machine frame. The segment-engages with-a toothed wheel 71 keyed on to a shaft 72. -Thev shaft 72 is mounted in the bearing 74 of the machine frame and also secured to th'e frame 73 of the head mold 47 (Figs. 9, 11 and'12). By the rotation of the toothed segment 69, the frame of the head mold can therefore .be swung forwardly out, of the position in Fig. 9 at an angle of 180. This takes'place when the roller 65 of the'lever 66 slides in the groove64 of the disk 20 from thehighest step .to the lowest one. By-means'of the le-' ver transmission, the toothed segment '69 and the 'shaft 72 with the head mold frame secured thereto will be rotated, so that the head mold47 passes out of the preliminary 'mold 41 into the finishing. mold 75 (Fig. 2) The finishing blowing mold.7 5 is mounted:

on an adjustable table 76 (Fig. 6) of the main table 2. During the rotation of the its abutment against the roller 77 of a cranked lever 78. The latter is fixed on the shaft 79 and carries at the ends of its two' arms the; rollers 77 and 117, both of which roll olf the disk 26. -By'means of the afore- .said' rotation of the ,disk 26, the roller ,7 7 is 5 moved by the moved forward out of its position in Fig.

.6, whereby the shaft 7 9 and also the lever 80 (Figs. 1 and 2). mounted on the other end of the shaft 79 are rotatedf The two lever arms 78 and 80 are connected by the two.

with cranked levers '83 and "84 adapted to 2) and these engage oscillate-on the pins 85' and 86. The free arms of the cranked levers 83. and 84 are connected to the halves 75 of the finishing mold by intermediate pieces 87 and, 88 (Fig. 2 By means of the above-described movement of, the lever arm 78,"rotation of the shaft 79 and the resultant rotation of the cranked levers 83 and 84, the" finishing blow-" ing mold will be closed.

' A roller 99 of a double-armed lever 100 is cam of the disk 17 (Fig. 10) mounted on the shaft 16. The lever 100 oscillates on a horizontal chine frame and is connected with its free end through the interposition of a spiral spring to the piston rod' 102 of a piston 103 (Fig. 10), which moves to and fro in a cylinder 104 piston 103 will therefore be forced upward in the cylinder 104.;-

The one end of the lever 106 carries an adjustable weight 106 (Fig 10) while the other end of the lever engages with the vertical rod 108 adapted to move the blowinghead 113 (Fig. 1). The blowing head 113 communicates through tube 112, pipe 115 and the cylinder 104. The upward and downward movement of the blowing head is ef-' fected by two parallellever armsfl114, 114*, which are connected to a standard 110 of the machine frame (Fig. 1) The previously mentioned rod 108 engages with the lower lever arm 114', so-that by the action of the now. seated in the closed finishing blowing air contained in the cylinder 104 above the piston 103 is driven through thepiping into the blowing head. 113 and finishing mold 7 5, whereby the finishing blowing of the pre-' liminarily manipulated bottle is effected.

The cranked lever 78 (Fig; 6) is so formed that when theroller 77 moves on the high step of the cam of thedisk 26, the roller 117 mounted bears against the smallest periphery of the cam of the disk 26. If, therefore, the roller the ascent of the piston, the v on the other arm of the lever .78

The'lower end of the lever isrotatably mounted on a pin 119 of the machine frame, whlle the other end of the lever 118 is con he rods 81 and 82 will be each revolution of the-disk is also returned with the lever 80, the rods he tube 112 with the blowing head'l13 will thus also return to the posi-' bears against an abutment 118 of the lever nected by a connecting piece120 to a cranked lever 122 adapted to oscillate on a pin 121. The free arm of'the cranked lever 122 (Fig. 9) carries a projecting pin or bolt 123, which, when the head mold bears on the finishing blowing mold, can abut against the projecting. arm-124 of a Tshaped cranked lever, 124 mountedon the head mold frame (Figs. 1,11 and 12). The two-part head mold 47 (Figs. .11 and 12) consists of the two halves 125 and 126. The half 125 is carried by two rods or bolts 127 and 128, which are guided in the frame 73 and united by a traverse or yoke 130. The other half is secured to the pin or bolt 129 also guided through the frame 73 (Fig. 12). The yoke 130 engages with a rod 131 (Figs.9 and 11) connected to the cranked lever 124. To the rod 129 is connected a loop 132, which is also connected to the cranked lever 124 by a rod 133. The cranked lever 124 is secured to the pin or bolt 134, which is mounted in the frame 73 and carries at its end spiral springs 135, whose one end bears against an abutment of the frame 73.

If, in consequence of the action of the cam disk 21 (Fig. 9), the lever 118 and the cranked lever 122 are set in rotation, the bolt 123 of the cranked lever 122 swings out and abuts against the T-shaped cranked lever 124 (Fig. 11) which latter is forced upward. By the rotation of the cranked lever 124, the rods 131 and 133 (Fig. 11) connected therewith will be moved in opposite directions, and also the yoke 130 and loop 132 with the pins 127 and 128 and 129 secured thereon. Consequently, the halves 125 and 126 of the head mold move apart, so that the head mold 47 will open and release the bottle head 160 (Fig- 11) which was hitherto inclosed in the head mold.

As soon as the head mold 47 is open, the roller 65 (Fig. 9) of the cranked lever 66, which hitherto ran on the smallest periphery in the grove 64 of the disk 20, w1ll be forced upward i. e. returned to its initial position on the groove 64 assuming a larger d1ameter. The cranked lever 66 will thereby be ro-' tated, the rod 68 pulled, and the toothed segment 69 swung back so that the toothed wheel 71 will always be rotated with the shaft 721 The head mold frame 73 secured to the shaft 72 will therefore be turned back at an angle of 180 2". e. theopen head mold 47 is lifted ofl the finishing blowing mold 7 5and bears again in thepreliminary mold 41. As soon as the head mold 47 is lifted ofi the finishing mold, the cam of the disk 21 (Fig. 9) leaves the abutment 118* of the lever 118, so that the latter returnsto its position of rest. The cranked lever 122 also falls back and the pin or bolt 123 releases the arm 124 of the cranked lever 124 mounted on the head mold frame, so that the lever 124 with the parts hinged thereto returns to the position of rest in consequence of the tension of the spiral springs 135 i. e. the halves of the head mold are closed again.

The bottom or base of'the finishing blowing mold 75 is mounted on an adjustable pin or bolt 136 of the table 76 (Fig. 6). The bolt or pin 136 is secured to the shaft 137 (Fig. 8) which is rotatably mount'edon the table ,76. On theshaft 137 is mounted a lever arm 138, which is connected by a core carrier 45.

bent rod 139 to a lever arm 140 rotatably mounted by a pin 141 on the table 2 of the machine (Fig. 8). The lever 140 is so arrangedthat the roller 142 (Fig. 8) mounted thereon bears against the disk 25 of the shaft 16, so that the lever 140 can be forced Through the connection with the rod 139, the shaft'137 is rotated and the pin or bolt 136 with the base or bottom of the blowing mold is brought into an inclined positiomso that the finished bottle standing on the botin the preliminary mold plate by the respective mechanism, the preliminary mold 41 closes under the action of the disk 23, roller 28, lever 29, shaft 30, levers 31 and 32, rods 33 and 34 and cranked levers 35 and 36. At the same time, the neck core 46 is brought into the head mold 47 through the medium of the disk 22, cranked lever 43 and The liquid glass mass is now filled into the preliminary mold by a workman. A suction action is thereupon exerted on the glass mass by the piston 52, which is drawn downward in the cylinder 53, by the action of the disk 24 (Fig. 8) roller 48 and cranked lever 50, so that the glass is drawn around the neck core '46, whereby the neck opening of the bottle is formed. By meansof the cam 95 of the disk 24 and the lever mechanism connected therewith, the cutting ofl' knives 96 and 97 (Fig. 7) have meanwhile moved toward each .the preliminary mold is fixed to the preliminary mold 47 by the roller 56, disk 18 (Fig. 10) cranked lever 58, rod 59 and the levers 61 and 61*. The roller-42 (Fig. 6) of the cranked lever 43 thereupon leaves the cam of the disk 22, whereby the neck core 46 drops out of the head mold 41. a

The piston 52 (Fig. 8) will now be forced upward in its cylinder 53 by the lever mechanism connected to the piston, so that the previously drawn in air is now forced into the opening in the glass (left behind by the neck core 46) whereby the preliminary blowing of the bottle is carried out until the piston 52 has reached its highest position (Fig. 8) or position of rest.

l The roller 28 (Fig. 6) of the lever 29 then leaves the Gate of the disk 23, the roller 62 (Fig. 6) will be forced upward "by the away by the abutment of the disk' 25. 7

willleave the abutment of the disk 18 and the rod 59 with the lever mechanism thereon I will be pulled down by theweight 147.

" When the preliminary mold 11 is quite ja an, the roller 65 of the cranked lever 66 will be moved through the groove 64 of the disk 20 (Fig. 9), so that the adjoining toothed segment .69 and toothed-wheel 71 will be rotated and-consequently, the head mold 4:7 with the preliminary blown bottle will be, swung out of the open preliminary mold, turned at 'an angle of 180 and v brought into-the finishing blowing mold 75.

1 By meansof the disk 17- (Fig. 10) roller 99 and lever 100, the piston103isforced upward in the-cylinder 104, so that air is forced into the preliminary blown glass ball 7 through the pipe 116,tube 115 pipe 112 andthe lever 118 and the cranked lever 122 connected therewith be rotated, so that the mold and blowing head 113, whereby the finished blow- 1 ing out of the bottle takes place. The roller 105-then leaves the abutment of the disk-l9 (Fig. 10) and through the weight106 and leverage on the rod 108, the blowing head 113 is lifted off the head and finishing blowing (Fig 1).

a, By the abutment 6f the disk 21 (Fig. 9)

pin orbolt 123" of the lever 122'Vwill strike against the arm'124 of the crankdilever 124 and consequently, the halves of the ead *m old will open and 'elease the finishingbottle, which remains in. the "closed blowing mold'i5. At the same: time, when'the head :mold 17 3 opens, the head mold frame 73 will b'e'rotated by the. toothed segment 69-andthe mechanism connected therewith, so that the preliminary mold is lifted oi the finishing blowing moldland. swings'b'ack again into thepreliminary mold. During the ascent of the head mold frame, the abutment of the. disk21 (Figs- 9, 1) leaves the projection' 1 18 of the "lever 118, whereby-"the latter and also thecranked lever 122 withpin 123 move backward immediately and release the T-shaped cranked lever 124 of the bottle is carried out during a single revoluranged as single machines, several prelimi- "nary. as well as finishing molds are adapted returned to its position of rest' colummjone of said arms having one end pivoted tosaid column and the other arni head mold frame 73 and consequently, the halves Of the head mold are closed by the action of the spiral springs 135;

, The closing of'the preliminary mold, the filling in. of the liquid glass mass and the preliminary manipulation of the glass bottle meanwhile takeplace in the above-de-' scribed manner.

Shortly before the bottle is finished'in the preliminary mold, the finishing .mold 75 opens again through the medium of the roller 117 (Fig. 6) ofthe cranked. lever 87 and the mechanism connected therewith. Through the action of the disk 25 (Fig; 8 lever 140 and shaft 137, the base or bottomof the blowing mold is brought into'an inclined position and consequently, the finished bottle slides down the same' The described operation for making a tion of the driving shaft 16 andalso during a revolution'of the whole machine about the central column 5.
