Abstract

A gob delivery apparatus in which gobs of molten glass are conducted from a gob feeder through a gob delivery system into a mold of an I.S. glassware forming machine. The gob delivery system includes a scoop, a substantially flat slide member and a deflector. The scoop catches the gobs and directs them downwardly at an angle. The slide member is supported fixedly on the machine and includes a downwardly angled upper slide surface for the gobs. An upper end of the deflector receives the gobs directly from a lower end of the slide member.
