Abstract

An arrangement for successively feeding gobs of plasticizable material into blank molds arranged on a turntable of a bottle making machine from a gob supply means stationarily arranged relative to the turntable. The feeding arrangement preferably comprises a feed channel for each mold and means carried by the turntable and supporting each feed channel at two points at different elevations. The support means are adjustable during rotation of the turntable in such a manner so as to successively align the upper end of each feed channel with the gob supply means for receiving a gob therefrom, and the lower end with the respective mold for supplying the received gob into the latter while a press plunger cooperating with the mold is in an upwardly withdrawn position.
