APPARATUS FOR SPRAYING GLASS CONTAINERS

摘要

An apparatus for spraying the surfaces of glass containers, which are being moved in longitudinally spaced transverse rows by a conveyor, wherein a rodless air cylinder is mounted transversely of the conveyor and the spraying apparatus is connected to the piston of the rodless cylinder so that the spraying apparatus is moved transversely of the rows of containers. The rodless cylinder is supported for pivotal movement about a vertical axis so that the axis of the cylinder may be moved to a position other than a right angle to the longitudinal axis of movement of the conveyor. The offset of the angle from a right angle and the speed of traverse of the piston are coordinated with the conveyor speed so that, at any time during the travel, the spray apparatus is spraying between adjacent rows of containers.
