A new delivery system for use with glassware forming machines of the rotating table type having a plurality of continuously rotating spaced forming units spaced about the periphery thereof. The delivery system includes a plurality of gob guiding units each having a scoop, trough and deflector secured to a corresponding oscillating frame. A vertical pivot shaft supports each scoop and is operatively connected with an actuating means to move the corresponding scoop laterally between a delivery position and a reject position. The actuating means is responsive to a plurality of gob reject actuators in order to enable selective delivery or rejection of individual gobs of selected forming units.

Delivery system for glassware forming machine

An adjusting mechanism is disclosed for the press head of a glassware forming machine of the rotating table type having a plurality of forming units circumferentially spaced for rotation about the axis of the machine. Adjustment is effected by rotating a parallel adjusting rod, which is engaged to a threaded rod. Rotation varies the pressure of the plunger by changing the position of a pinion on the threaded rod, through spring compression or pinion gear rotation, to which the stop lever on the plunger steam will contact. Each forming unit is capable of producing at least two glassware articles per machine cycle. A remote ram spring adjustment means provides operator control of ram spring pressure for each plunger at an accessable height and location.
