ABSTRACT:
A receiver for waste molten glass, which automatically dumps the glass as cullet in lump or fragment form. The receiver comprises primarily a hopper or bin, with a central partition which divides the hopper into two compartments. The hopper or bin is pivotally mounted for reciprocating pivotal movement about a horizontal line in the plane of the partition such that the compartments formed on either side of the partition are alternately faced upwardly to receive molten glass and cooling water. Molten glass gobs, thus cooled, and water weight that side of the hopper in which they are received, thus causing it to pivot downwardly and thereby to dump cooled cullet in lump form while the alternative compartment is faced upwardly to receive subsequently poured waste molten glass and water until the weight of material in that compartment causes reverse pivotal movement and dumping. The hopper is triangular in vertical cross section, as are the partitioned compartments thereof.
