Abstract: A dead plate arrangement for a glass forming machine is characterized by a housing (33) which is bordered on the upper side by a dead plate (1) which is divided into fields (16, 16?, 16?) intended for putting hollow glass articles to be cooled thereon, wherein to each field, a dynamic pressure chamber (3) is allocated which is connected to a supply air chamber (4) via a valve (9), and wherein the supply air chamber (4) is connected to a cooling air supply via a valve (5). The valves (5, 9) are continuously controllable between an opening position and a closed position so that the pressure can be set for each of the dynamic pressure chambers (3), and therefore the cooling capacity of each of the fields (16, 16?, 16?) can be set individually depending on the properties of the hollow glass article to be cooled.

The cooling capacity of each of the fields (16, 16?, 16?) can be set individually depending on the properties of the hollow glass article to be cooled. In connection with database-supported setpoint values for article-specific dimensioning of the cooling air flows, an individual cooling capacity can be implemented.

Abstract: A pressing plunger mechanism for a glassware forming machine has at least one pressing plunger which in normal operation can be moved axially in a reciprocating manner together with a pressing plunger receiver between an inoperative position and a pressing position. A piston rod of a piston is fastened to each pressing plunger receiver, which piston can be displaced in a cylinder of a pressing plunger holder. The pressing plunger holder can be moved axially in a reciprocating manner by a first drive and is connected in a non-rotatable manner to a threaded spindle. A nut which can be rotationally driven by the first drive is engaged with the threaded spindle and is coupled to a driven shaft of an angular gear. An input shaft of the angular gear can be rotationally driven by an electric servo motor of the first drive.
