ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus for removing molten glass from a bath through a taphole in the wall of a vessel containing the bath, and transporting the molten glass to a processing station, a lance can be moved through the taphole and dipped into the molten glass to pick up glass with the tip portion of the lance. The lance is connected to a connecting element of an operating arrangement by first pivot means and the connecting element is mounted on a support of the operating arrangement by a second pivot spaced from the first pivot. The two pivots have mutually parallel horizontal axes and, to provide for unimpeded pivotal movement of the lance about the first pivot and of the connecting element about the second pivot, the pivots are displaced relative to each other such that the lance is pivotable in a first vertical plane and the connecting element is pivotable in a second vertical plane which is spaced from the first vertical plane. The connecting element carries a drive motor for the pivotal movement of the lance and the support carries a drive motor for the pivotal movement of the connecting element.
