Summary: | Apparatus for squeeze testing the side walls of glass containers by passing them successively between the periphery of a wheel and an opposed shoe. The shoe is shaped to provide a converging entrance portion, a diverging exit portion, and an intermediate arcuate portion concentric with the wheel. The shoe is urged toward the wheel to apply squeezing pressure by air pressure actuated means which includes an air reservoir to cushion the squeezing force. The shoe is mounted to move slightly downwardly toward the wheel and slightly upwardly away from the wheel so that containers passing between the shoe and the wheel periphery move the shoe away from the wheel and thus lift the containers from a conveyor. |
