<p>An inclined gob scoop (20,40) for conveying, by gravity, formable gobs (G1,G2) of glass at an elevated temperature to a section of a glass container forming machine of the I.S. type. The gobs scoops (20,40) have a cross-sectional configuration generally of an upwardly facing V with a curved member (22,42,52) that has a curved bight (22e,42e,52e) from which curved opposed legs (22c,22d;42c,42d,52c,52d) extend upwardly. The bight (22e,42e,52e) being so configured that, in use, it has a radius smaller than that of a smallest size of the gobs (G2) in the range of sizes (G1,G2) which are intended to be conveyed by the scoop. <IMAGE></p> |
