Takeout mechanism in glassware forming machine

摘要

A method of adjusting the height of the takeout mechanism in a glassware forming machine comprises setting a takeout arm of the mechanism at a predetermined angle by use of a jig member adjusting a piston and cylinder device so that it is in a predetermined lowermost position when the takeout arm is so set, using a second jig member appropriate to the desired height of the takeout mechanism with respect to a set of moulds, setting the whole mechanism to the appropriate height and adjusting a scale to indicate the height to which the mechanism is set.
