<p>A deflector assembly for conveying gobs of molten glass to a glass forming machine, the deflector assembly having a longitudinally extending deflector (10) formed from a suitable metallic material by casting with a cross-sectional configuration of a downwardly facing U. The deflector (10) has a cooling passage (14) formed internally of the metallic material and extending therethrough, the cooling passage being formed along the centerline of the deflector and adjacent to a bight of the U. The deflector assembly further comprises a thin-walled tube (16) inserted into the cooling passage (14) of the deflector, the thin-walled tube extending through the deflector, and a coolant is circulated through the thin-walled tube to thereby cool the deflector.</p> |
