This relates to improvements in drives for shears, particularly shears for severing gobs from a glass runner. All of the drives incorporate a drive pinion for reciprocating racks which are secured to slides of the shear. The pinion is rotated first in one direction and then in the opposite direction to cause the blades of the shear to first move together and shear a gob, and then move back to the original position. Suitable reversing motors may be utilized, including an electrical servomotor or suitable hydraulic motor. On the other hand, the drive motor may be of the unidirectional type and an oscillating drive member may be incorporated in the drive system for converting the one-directional drive of the motor to an oscillating or reversing output. In addition, the drive of the pinion may be supplemented by a double-acting air motor which is connected to one of the racks. The air motor or cylinder will provide the primary motor power for the shear, but the velocity thereof will be controlled by the servomotor or like motor which is connected to the pinions through a nonreversing drive.

A four axis adjustment mechanism is disclosed for adjusting the orientation of the deflector of the delivery system of a rotating table type of glassware forming machine. The orientation of the deflector is adjustable as it oscillates along a predetermined arcuate path relative to its deflector axis in order to properly position the deflector over a corresponding continuously moving blank mold. These adjustments are termed radial, radial tilt, peripheral and peripheral tilt.

Glass containers are pushed from an infeed conveyor through an arcuate path to a cross conveyor by pushers which have L-shaped fingers which are advanced to an advanced position to engage the containers and which can automatically reorient to maintain the container perfectly centered within the fingers until the container is displaced to a deposit location. The fingers are then pivotally displaced away from the container and subsequently repositioned at the advanced position.

A stationary tube holder and revolving rotor assembly which is to be used in conjunction with a glass spout bowl. The assembly includes a stationary tube holder assembly which has elongated horizontally extending arm for supporting a tube at one end and a counterweight at the other, a revolving rotor assembly which has an elongated horizontally extending arm for supporting a rotor at one end and a counterweight at the other, and a compound X, Y, slide assembly. A vertical spacer is secured between the compound X, Y slide assembly and the elongated tube holder assembly arm for supporting the stationary tube holder assembly. The spacer includes a jack screw for elevating the tube holder assembly relative to the compound X, Y slide assembly. A vertical post is secured at its bottom end to the compound X, Y slide assembly, and at its top slidingly extends through an extended bushing in the stationary tube holder assembly arm. The post additionally is interconnected with this rotor assembly and can raise or lower this assembly.

A glass feeder plunger operating mechanism driven by an electric motor controlled by a programmable computer programmed to drive the motor in a predetermined manner in order to generate a predetermined motion profile of one or more glass feeder plungers. The plungers are secured to the end of a cantilevered lateral support bracket which is cyclically and vertically reciprocated by cyclical oscillations of the electric motor. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a ball screw in threaded engagement with a ball nut which is secured to a member connected to the plunger support bracket. The plunger support bracket is attached to a moveable vertical support shaft which maintains plunger alignment during the range of motion. The operating mechanism is attached to a frame which is adjustable in two dimensions to facilitate alignment of the plungers with their respective orifices. Air cylinders are provided to counter-balance the weight of the members being vertically reciprocated.

An inspection device is disclosed for inspecting glass containers for leaners and chokes as they are moved continuously past a single work station. The invention utilizes a video camera and processing circuits for determining the size of the opening of the finish of each container as well as the extent of its lean relative to predetermined acceptable limits. Containers having excessive lean or choke are rejected.
