ABSTRACT:
A forming plunger mechanism for glass container manufacturing of the type used in an I.S. machine and having at least one vertically-oriented cylinder containing a reciprocally-driven piston for repeatedly driving a plunger upwardly into parisons contained by a blank mould, wherein a saddle plate is provided for supporting one or more vertically-oriented cylinders. The saddle plate is adapted to accommodate on its upper surface a plurality of repositionable port blocks. Each port block has internal conduit channels with generally laterally-facing ports which operatively register with ports at the lower end of the cylinder. The conduit channels have substantially upwardly-facing openings for connection thereto with ends of hoses which serve to conduct a pressurized air stream through the port block and into the cylinder for driving the cylinder's piston in a reciprocal action and for conducting a cooling air flow through the mechanism. The port blocks may be selectively repositioned on the upper surface of the saddle plate to accommodate more than one cylinder size without disturbing the connection of the hose ends to the port blocks. Provision is made for electrical sensing within the cylinders and for completing electrical circuit connection at the cylinder's distal end as a function of installing the cylinder in its operative position. The saddle plate is provided with upper surface grooves for containing insulated conductor leads which extend from the point of connection on the underface of the distal end of the cylinder and outwardly from the lateral surface of the saddle plate.
