Gob delivery apparatus for I.S. glassware forming machine

Gobs of molten glass fall in succession into a scoop which can be swivelled about a vertical axis and which supplies gobs to a delivery system, for example, of an I.S. glassware forming machine. The gobs travel along a path of movement from the scoop to a trough in free flight and to a deflector which is downwardly curved. The deflector delivers the gobs so that their longitudinal axis lies coaxially with respect to the longitudinal axis of a mold which is to be charged. The trough has its upper end supported by means of a universal joint. The lower end of the trough is guided in a vertical chute of the deflector and can be raised and lowered by means of an adjustment device.

A setting device having a coupling member permits adjustment of the deflector.
