Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a device for setting a base cup in a blow mold, comprising a pair of divided molds disposed on a machine base and transversely movable for opening and closing and a bottom mold disposed at the bottom of these divided molds; further comprising a horizontal stationary plate secured to the machine base, a carrier capable of reciprocal movement on said stationary plate, and a base body of said bottom mold vertically movably disposed on said carrier, said stationary plate being disposed so as to move beyond the machine base for displacing said bottom mold and said carrier from the center of said blow mold to the outside of said machine base, guiding members being disposed at necessary positions in a drive device for displacing said carrier, said carrier having members for vertically moving said bottom mold at the bottom of said divided molds, a base body being disposed in association with a lifting device, and said carrier and said drive device comprising a transfer device by being connected together by a reciprocating member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A device for setting a base cup in a blow mold comprising a pair of divided molds disposed on a base plate and transversely movable for opening and closing; said device further comprising: a horizontal stationary plate secured below and fixed with respect to the base plate, a carrier arranged for reciprocal movement on said stationary plate, said stationary plate extending from a position generally below said divided molds to a position beyond said base plate for permitting movement of said carrier from said position generally below said divided molds to said position beyond said base plate, a bottom mold adapted to hold a base cup, and a lifting device for said bottom mold, said bottom mold being mounted for vertical movement on said carrier and being arranged for cooperation with said lifting device when said carrier is in said position generally below said divided molds, for lifting said bottom mold into position for cooperation with said divided molds, and being arranged to receive a base cup when in said position beyond said base plate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
175 words
A device for setting a base cup in a blow mold comprising a pair of divided molds disposed on a base plate and transversely movable for opening and closing; said device further comprising: a horizontal stationary plate secured below and fixed with respect to the base plate, a carrier arranged for reciprocal movement on said stationary plate, said stationary plate extending from a position generally below said divided molds to a position beyond said base plate for permitting movement of said carrier from said position generally below said divided molds to said position beyond said base plate, a bottom mold adapted to hold a base cup, and a lifting device for said bottom mold, said bottom mold being mounted for vertical movement on said carrier and being arranged for cooperation with said lifting device when said carrier is in said position generally below said divided molds, for lifting said bottom mold into position for cooperation with said divided molds, and being arranged to receive a base cup when in said position beyond said base plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A device for setting a base cup in a blow mold as set forth in claim 1 wherein said base plate has an aperture formed therethrough below said divided molds and said bottom mold is lifted into position for cooperation with said divided molds by said lifting device through said aperture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
A device for setting a base cup in a blow mold as set forth in claim 1 wherein said lifting device is secured to a portion of said stationary plate generally below said divided molds and includes a lifting member which cooperates with said bottom mold when said carrier is in said position generally below said divided molds, for lifting said bottom mold into position for cooperation with said divided molds and lowering said bottom mold therefrom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
74 words
A device for setting a base cup in a blow mold as set forth in claim 1 wherein said lifting device is carried on said carrier and includes a drive device for driving a crank arm, said crank arm having a free end which is vertically extended or retracted by said drive device, said bottom mold being connected to the free end of said crank arm for vertical reciprocation with respect to said carrier.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
A device for setting a base cup in a blow mold as set forth in claim 1 wherein a carrier drive means is mounted on said stationary plate to effect horizontal reciprocation of said carrier on said stationary plate.
