ABSTRACT:
A gob distributor is disclosed having a head including at least one gob scoop having a pinion and a rack for interconnecting with the pinion so that the gob scoop can be rotatively displaced through a predetermined angular range. The rack is displaced by a ball screw assembly wherein a vertically oriented forked link having a bottom end and two vertically spaced top ends connects the rack to the ball screw nut. Each of the top ends is secured to ball screw nut so that the link can be reoriented relative to the ball screw nut about a vertical axis passing through the top ends to compensate for misalignment between the ball screw and the link and the bottom end is connected to the rack so that any out of parallelism in either a horizontal or a vertical plane between the link and the rack will be accommodated.
