CHANNEL ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSFERRING A DROP OF GLASS FROM A DROP DISTRIBUTOR TO A PRE-MOULD OF A GLASS MACHINE

摘要

A channel arrangement for transferring a drop of glass from a drop distributor (1) to a pre-mould (2) of a glass machine has a central channel (5), the intake of which is connected to an acceptor channel (4) of the drop distributor (1) and is inclined downwards between its inlet and outlet and a deflection channel (6), the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the central channel (5), the end section (18) on the outlet side of which is approximately straight and which is secured to a frame section (15) of the glass machine by means of an adjustable suspension device (13) in such a way that the position of its outlet can be fitted to the central axis (17) of the pre-mould (2) of the glass machine. In order precisely to align the central axis (17) of the pre-mould (2) and that (19) of the end section (18) of the deflection channel (6) precisely towards the central axis (17) of the pre-mould, the end section (18) of the deflection channel (6) on the outlet side is separated from said channel and takes the form of a hopper (21).
