DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING GLASS GOB TO GLASS CONTAINER FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved trough for transporting the gob of molten glass from an oscillating cob scoop to the blank mold of an IS glass forming device. SOLUTION: An inclined draft assembly (10) for transporting the formable glass gob at a high temperature by the gravity to the section of the glass container formed device of an IS type has a draft member (12) of the sectional form nearly corresponding to an upward V shape and a manifold (14) which at least partly lies under the draft member (12) and has the sectional form nearly corresponding to an upward U shape. The draft member (12) is partially inserted into the manifold (14) down to its bottom and the manifold (14) has a compressed air inlet (14a) for accepting the compressed air or fan air flowing along the manifold (14) in a cooled contact state with the draft member (12), by which the friction coefficient between the glass gob flowing along the draft assembly (10) and the draft member (12) is lowered.
