ARTICULATED FORMING MOLD FOR GLASS SHEETS

摘要

Mold ring (34) is mounted on a frame (32) by mounts (36) that can be adjusted. A pivotal connection (44) of a movable portion (42) of the mold ring (34) is adjusted with respect to the frame (32) and sections (40) of a fixed portion (38) of the mold ring. A pivotal axis (A) extends through the mold ring at spaced portions (46) of the mold ring. The adjuster (48) includes shim connections (68) and bolts (71) between hinge members (60, 62) of hinges (50) of the pivotal connection (44). Hinge members (60 and 62) are respectively mounted on brackets (56 and 58) with bolts (76). Keys (66) secure the hinge pin (64) in position. A threaded connection (78) includes a bolt (80) whose head (82) and threaded shank (84) are axially fixed respect to an extension (86) of the bracket (58) by an annular spool (88) that is axially secured by a key (90). The hinge member (62) has elongated slots (92) and has a threaded hole (93).
