ABSTRACT:
A multiple glass feed system for use with a glass forehearth including a plurality of closely spaced plungers, each of which is individually adjusted independently of the other. The upper end of each plunger is oval in cross section and the lower end is round. The oval portions of the plungers are each supported in an individual clamping mechanism having a chuck housing, a curved liner plate within the housing, and a cap screw which extends between the housing and liner plate to engage the upper end of the plunges and clamp the plunger in the housing to arrange the plungers in side by side relation to each other with the long axis of each oval portion parallel to the long axis of the adjacent plungers.
