A punch assembly for a machine for shaping glass articles.

摘要

A punch assembly (1) for a machine for shaping glass articles, in which at least one casing (7), adapted to support a punch (11) for movement relative to the casing (7), is connected to its own fixed support (2) by a rapid-connection device (12) which has two jaws (13) carried by one component selected from the fixed support (2) and the casing (7), and a pair of counter elements (24) each associated with a respective jaw (13) and carried by the other of the fixed support (2) and the casing (7); the counter elements (24) being movable under the action of a drive unit (28) between an operative position in which they cooperate with the jaws (13) to attach the casing (7) to the fixed support (2) and a rest position in which the counter elements (24) are disengaged from the jaws (13) allowing the casing (7) to be moved away from the fixed support (2). <IMAGE>
