A split loading funnel (10, 110, 210) includes two or more individual funnel segments (12, 14, 112, 114, 212, 214), each of which includes an interior guide surface (28, 30, 128, 130). The two or more individual funnel segments are arranged relative to one another so that interior guide surfaces of the individual funnel segments cooperate to define a guide passage (38, 138, 238) having a longitudinal axis (L). Also disclosed are an apparatus that includes the split loading funnel, and a process for delivering a gob (G) of molten glass from a gob delivery system (64) into a blank mold (66) using a split loading funnel. |
