Abstract
A gob deflector has an entry end for receiving molten glass gobs, an exit end for directing the glass gobs into a blank mold of a glassware forming machine, and a curved portion between the entry and exit ends. The curved portion has an arc defined by an upper curve contiguous with the inlet end of the deflector and a lower curve contiguous with the entry end of the deflector. The upper and lower curves have differing radii as a function of angle along the curved portion of the deflector.
