GLASS GOB SHEARING APPARATUS |
| Abstract |
The present invention relates to an apparatus for shearing'a plurality of streams of molten glass from a glass feeder into individual gobs of molten glass for processing into glass containers in a forming machine, said apparatus comprising; first shearing means comprising a first plurality of knife elements second shearing means comprising a second plurality of knife elements mounting means for mounting said first shearing means for motion toward and away from said second shearing means and for mounting said second shearing means for parallel motion toward and away from said first shearing means; a unidirectional acting servo motor and connecting means for connecting said selVo motor to said first shearing means and to said second shearing means for simultaneously moving said first shearing means and said second shearing means toward one another and then away from one another, said connecting means comprising; a bell crank having a central axis; first connecting rod mean connecting said servo motor to said bell crank for imparting oscillating motion to said bell crank about its central axis; second connecting rod means connecting said bell crank to said first shearing means for imparting reciprocating motion to said first shearing means; and third connecting rod means connecting said bell crank to said second shearing means for imparting reciprocating motion to said ftrst strearing means; and third connecting rod means connecting said bell crank to~~d shearing means for imparting reciprocating motion to said second shearing means; said second connecting rod means and said third connecting rod means being pivotally attached to said servomotor at diametrically spaced apart locations thereof. |
