Abstract
A new spray ring apparatus for use in metal forming and glassware forming machines of the type having a forming cavity into which a fluid lubricant material is sprayed, said spray ring including a plurality of nozzles through which the fluid lubricant material is sprayed into the cavity in a tangential helical flow pattern to thereby uniformly coat the interior surfaces of the cavity prior to the forming of the metal or glassware parts therein.
Claims8
A lubricant spraying apparatus for metal forming and glassware forming machines of the type having a forming cavity into which the material to be formed is placed, and a plurality of nozzle means arranged to discharge fluid lubricant into the cavity prior to each forming operation such that the walls of the cavity and parts associated therewith in the forming operation are properly coated with the lubricant,
- said apparatus being comprised of,
- a spray ring means which is positioned generally around the opening of the cavity,
- said plurality of nozzle means being positioned on the spray ring and being operative to discharge fluid lubricant into the cavity in a helical tangential flow pattern,
- conduit means for connecting the nozzle means and spray ring means to a source of fluid lubricant whereby a predetermined amount of lubricant can be supplied to the cavity at desired intervals of operation.
A lubricant spraying apparatus for metal forming and glassware forming machines of the type having a forming cavity into which the material to be formed is placed, and a plurality of nozzle means arranged to discharge fluid lubricant into the cavity prior to each forming operation such that the walls of the cavity and parts associated therewith in the forming operation are properly coated with the lubricant,
- said apparatus being comprised of,
- a spray ring means which is positioned generally around the opening of the cavity,
- said plurality of nozzle means being positioned on the spray ring and being operative such that each nozzle means discharges fluid lubricant into the cavity in a tangential flow pattern,
- conduit means for connecting the nozzle means and spray ring means to a source of fluid lubricant whereby a predetermined amount of lubricant can be supplied to the cavity at desired intervals of operation, and
- said fluid lubricant is inter-mixed with air such that the lubricant when sprayed through said nozzle means operates to generally uniformly coat the lubricant on the desired surfaces inside the cavity.
