Patented Dec. 27, 1927. l@65410-911 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. KARL E. PEILER, OF WEST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO HARTFOITD-EXPIRE COMPANY, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICTIT, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE. APPARATUS FOR HANDLING GLASSWARE. Application filed March 3@ 1923. Serial No. 622,622. Tlic@ pi-c@sent iiivention relates to glassw@ire li@iii(Iling apparatus, its general object beto provide an iinpi,oved take-out adapted for t,,iking the ware froin the iii,)Ids of'a .5 shapijig rnacliine, or from otlier' ware carriers wnile the molds or cai-i-lers are moving, thus avoidin,r the necessity 6f stoppin"' the molds or carrieils while t-he w,,ire is geint), taken out, as is tho present, usual practice. la This enables the invention to be applied to M2,chines havina continiioiisly moving molds or carriers. When applied to machines having intermittently nioving molds or carriers, the taking oiit operation - inay be perforined 15 eitlier at ona of the stopl)ing positions or stations, or a.t ,tiiy poirit bet-Nveen those stat ons, as ma3r be foitnd iiiost con,venient or desirable. A further object is to delii,er the ware, 20 after takin(r it out, to any desired delivery sta,tion or ;(osition, aild to diseliarge it, upoii or deliver, it to aiiy suitable ware receivintable or conv.eyor NN,hich may be stationary, or inay move at any desired speed and in any 25 desired direction relative to the path of the take-out. A filrther object is to so regulate and control the path of moveiiient and speed of the take-out as to inove it first into substan30 tial coincidence with the path of tlle movin(r mold or carrier, - nd then move i@ in that path in substantial coincidence with the ware while approachino, and passing the take-out position, aiad t@. subsequpntly stop 35 or retard its movement as m@,y be required or desired while delivering the ware and the'n causincr it to travel at a different speed if necessary to compensate for the time lost in stich stol)ping oi- retardation. 40 Otber objects of the invention will appear fi-om the description to follow. Apparatus illustrating an embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawiii(Ys in which45 Fi-ure 1 is a plan of the take-out itiechcttn nism together with portions of a shaping -inachiiie and a carrier for receivin(,, the wai,e from the take-out; l@ig. 2 is a.side elevation partly in ketion, 50 of the apparatug shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan, on an enlarged scale, of a modified embodiment of thr,-, invention; 14'ig. 4 is ti side elevation, partly in see(1! lite al)p@ii--,itLis sliowii in j@'ig. 3; Fig. 5 is a detail sectional elevation on line .5-5 of- Fig. 3; Fi(,s 6-6a to 10-10,1 inclusive are dia(,rainniatic views illustrating in plan and elevation the various positions of the two 60 associated take-outs of the previous figures, ahd Fi(Y 11 is a diagi,amniatic I)Ian showing delivery to a modified type of ware receiving i paratus and at a different period in 65 I p the travel of the take-out. In the present innrention the constiuction is such that a relatively small and compact tike-out device can I)e employed to Eerve a relatively lhrge sh.'-It)ing machine or carrier 70 wliicli may be mal@y times largei, than the take-out device. The reduction in.the size of the take-out and the space occupied by it is made possible by movino, it, or its wire enLa(,in(, parts, substantialfy in coincidence, wi@li-th@ w,,tre while approachin- and pa'ssin(v the take-out position. Ap@roximately coiiicident movement,of the mold and the t,,ike-out for an appreciable period. just previous to an(I duriil(' the en('agement of 80 the take-out with the ware, is important iii order to avoid the extremely accuratb timin(r aDd rapid action of the two inechanisms, -,Yhicli would be required where the t,,tke-out ancl the article ai-e made to rezister only 85 moing@ntarily at. the point of t@ngency . of their paths. In the latter case, a relatively larffe take-out, moving iii a large circle, would be requii,e(I in order to have their patbs of m6vement coincide closely enough, 00 and for a period long enoiigh, to enable the take-out opei,ation -to be performed without inj@ry to this @ragile ware, which at tllis period is ustially not completely set. However large their circular paths of movement 95 may be, and -v@liether they are tanoent to eacth other or overlap, tho @eriod or periods of coincidence are too short to' permit of satisfactory operation. I'his is especially true, where as contem lated rese nt 100 inve ntion the ware is enga,- keout as'or before it is release olds or other liolders. By iiiovi -Olit in coincidence with the ware on approaching aiid passin- the takeout position, as in 105 this invention, it is.possible to lise a small takeout with a relativel3, large shaping ma-, chine, the saving of space being important. This invention is illustrated in the drgwings as adapted to the taking out of wb . at 119

11654,091 is termed -narrow neck ware, in'which a head @and neck left bare by the opening of the neck ring portion of the molcl extend above the top of the body mold 11 upon approach.1 ing the take-out station. In takina out such ware the; tongs, by travelint- Witt and enn ,aa@ing the ex@tending portioi! before the. inold is opened, setve also to -release the ware f i-om the openipg mold halves, breaking any adhesion occuring between the ware and the I)ody mold, t-hus obviaiinc@ the use of additional or specialmechanis'm for bolding the ware while opening the mold halves away from it. In the handling of pressecl ware, which ordinarily is not tlius exposed above the press -niold, the ware is pushed iip by the mold valve oi- bi)ttom plate,' so tha I t its upspectively, the shaft being prevented from turning by a spline or key 17. , prefer,,ibly in t,he lower beariiig 16, Fig. 2. Rotatably'mounted, on the shaft 14 is a 40 @,ear 19 for actuating the take-out devices. t-I Tbe,teeth of the gear 19 mesh with those of a dri.v'mg Lre,ir 20 suit@bly connected witli t@lie mold si@pport 10 or other desir@d pai@t of the shaping macliine, or the take@-out.may 45 be driven uy an indepenaent mecbanism. In 6ithbr case, the mechanisms will be sc, timed as to eause the successive molds and the take-Olits to arrive at the t6ke@-out station A at the same time. 50 The, take-out im@lemerits lierein shown as tongs 21 are provided witli p@bperly shaped ware engazin@ir portions 22, designea to suitIlibly engaiq the partioular type of ware to I be made by the shaping machine,.
