Cooling arrangement for a glass forming apparatus

A cooling arrangement of a machine for forming molten glass, wherein a forming tool of said machine is coolable by a pressure fluid and turnable about a first pivoting axle, the cooling arrangement comprising at least one stationary supply conduit having means defining an outlet opening;

• a pressure fluid distributing device for the forming tool turnable relative to said supply conduit about the first pivoting axle;
• and a connecting conduit to connect each supply conduit with said pressure fluid distributing device, said connecting conduit having an articulated conduit component turnable about a second pivoting axle which is fixed relative to said pressure fluid distributing device and is parallel to the first pivoting axle, said articulated conduit component having an inlet opening which is in a constant communication with said outlet opening of said supply conduit, said articulated conduit component, in addition to its turning about said second pivoting axle, being linearly displaceable along a longitudinal axis thereof relative to said supply conduit in a displacement plane normal to said first and second pivoting axles, and displacement means provided for allowing sliding linear displacement of said articulated conduit component along a longitudinal axis thereof, relative to said supply conduit in a displacement plane normal to said first and second pivoting axles, in addition to said turning of said articulated conduit component about said second pivoting axle.
