    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a glass parison are disclosed. The method of forming a glass container in accordance with one aspect of the disclosure includes flowing molten glass to a glass feeder spout located immediately upstream of die rollers; feeding molten glass through an annular space established between an orifice ring of the glass feeder spout and a plunger of the glass feeder spout; blowing gas through the plunger into the molten glass to form a continuous tube of molten glass; and die rolling the continuous tube into a continuous string of glass containers.

    Abstract: A process for producing glass bottles with shoulders includes a preform preparation step and a finishing step, in which a compressed gas is blown and the preform is rotated by 180° between the preform mold and the finishing mould. Preform preparation is achieved by introducing a glass gob into the mold through an upper aperture; inserting a blowing sleeve into the glass gob, the end of the sleeve extending beyond the shoulders of the outline of the preform of the bottle, the sleeve being closed by a plunger element slidable within its interior; opening the cavity of the sleeve to disengage the plunger element; and blowing air through the sleeve, wherein the final finishing step is achieved in an open preform mold, the volume of the cavity of the finishing mold being greater than the volume of the cavity of the preform mold by 5-20%.

    Abstract: A method of making a hollow container-shaped glass article composed of soda-lime-silica glass includes forming a particulate feedstock comprised of pulverized soda-lime-silica cullet particles into a hollow monolithic glass container preform without melting the cullet particles. The hollow monolithic glass container preform has a container shape that includes a wall defining an interior containment space and an opening to the interior containment space and, upon formation, has a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the soda-lime-silica glass. The hollow monolithic glass container preform is eventually cooled into a hollow, amorphous soda-lime-silica glass article, such as a partially-formed container or a finished container, that retains the previously-established container shape.

    Abstract: An assembly for forming a parison within a mold of a glass forming machine includes a plunger cylinder having a first end configured to be received by the mold and form the parison and a second end. The cylinder is configured for movement along a translational axis. An alignment plate defines a bore through which the cylinder extends. The alignment plate is configured to be affixed to a fixed member of the forming machine after movement of the alignment plate in a plane perpendicular to the translational axis to align the translational axis of the cylinder with a centerline of the mold. A height adjustment plate is spaced from, and hung from, the alignment plate and configured to support the second end of the cylinder. The height adjustment plate is movable relative to the alignment plate to cause a corresponding movement of the cylinder along the translational axis.
