Abstract
Apparatus for applying thermoplastic coating to glass containers includes a plurality of chuck bars, from each of which a plurality of container holding chucks are suspended, each of the chucks consisting of a U-shaped member upon which a lip or projection on the container neck is supported and from which the container is suspended and a loosely fitting cap member which drops over the top of the container. The chuck bars are supported by end members adapted to be transferred along a transfer track, preferably including rollers to facilitate such transfer. Movable transfer track segments are provided, to transfer chuck bars at specific positions for container pick-up and container coating. To effect longitudinal transfer of the chuck bars, elongated pusher members are disposed parallel to the transfer tracks. The pusher members includes dogs for engaging and disengaging the end members of the plurality of chuck bars. Means are included for transferring chuck bars in separate sections of the apparatus different transfer distances to provide for different spacing between transfer stations.
