Gob distributor for a machine for forming glass articles

A gob distributor for a glassware forming machine, comprising:

• a housing;
• at least one arcuate or straight scoop located above the housing, wherein each scoop has an upper end aligned at all times with at least one orifice of a feeder, wherein each scoop moves radially so that a lower end of each scoop coincides, in a predetermined order, with upper ends of straight or curved fixed channels of the forming machine, to conduct gobs towards article forming molds;
• at least one independent supporting structure, where one independent supporting structure is connected to each scoop;
• at least one first shaft vertically placed within the housing, wherein each first shaft can rotate on each first shaft's own axis, wherein one upper end of each first shaft extends outside the housing to connect to each independent supporting structure;
• wherein each first shaft comprises a first gear section for motion transmission;
• at least one second shaft placed horizontally or vertically within the housing, wherein each second shaft can rotate on each second shaft's own axis, wherein one end of each second shaft extends out of the housing;
• wherein each second shaft comprises a second gear section for motion transmission;
• wherein each first gear section of each first shaft and each second gear section of each second shaft are coupled together to form a coupling gear;
• and,
• at least one motor coupled at each end of each second shaft outside the housing so that, by means of a rotational movement of the at least one motor to the left or to the right, transmit a movement to each first shaft, to simultaneously move the support structures and scoops, radially, with a movement to the left or right to selective delivery positions, with a programmed sequence to each section and molds of the forming machine in an exact and precise position,
• wherein the coupling of the first gear section for motion transmission of the first shaft and the second gear section for motion transmission of the second shaft form a double-envelope transmission,
• wherein the at least one first shaft comprises at least two first shafts vertically placed within the housing which are aligned along a central part of the housing and equidistantly distributed from one another in a position one behind the other;
• and, wherein the at least one second shaft comprises at least two second shafts in a horizontal position and are distributed in the housing in a parallel position, one above the other;
• the second shafts being placed on opposite sides of the first shafts, each of said first shafts and each of said second shafts are coupled in pairs in a perpendicular position with each other to move independently each scoop.
