Abstract
A holding jig for a glass former and a method for shaping an end of a breathing tube are described. The holding jig includes a glass former having an interior shaping cavity for receiving the end of the breathing tube. The holding jig also includes a floating balance plate that abuts the glass former. A base plate has a seat recess for receiving the balance plate, and a tube hole for receiving the breathing tube. A grip plate is releasably secured to the base plate, and includes a grip hole sized to receive a portion of the glass former. An adjustment plug is used to selectively position the balance plate within the seat recess to align a longitudinal axis of the glass former with a longitudinal axis of the tube hole of the base plate.
