A plunger assembly (10) for a glass container forming machine of the I.S. type, the plunger assembly having a plunger (12) that is open at one end and is non-threadably secured at its open end to a free end of an annular cylinder rod (14) that operates to reciprocate the plunger relative to a blank mold of the forming machine. A perforated cooling air inlet tube (20) is positioned within the plunger, and the free end of the air inlet tube is held against a free end of an annular extension (22) of the cylinder rod, an opposed end of which is threadably received in the cylinder rod, by a split locking ring (30) an inwardly facing recess (36, 38) of which traps a radially outwardly extending flange (40) of the plunger to axially position the plunger relative to the split ring. The split ring abuts an endless ring (24) and is axially positioned thereagainst by a flange (44, 46) of the split ring that is received in a recess (42) of the extension. Cooling air flows into the cooling air inlet tube through the cylinder rod and the extension and exit from the plunger through apertures (54) in the split ring, an annular cavity (76) in the endless ring, openings (52) in the endless ring, openings (78) in the sleeve, an annulus (18) between the cylinder rod and the sleeve and an annulus (48) at the base of the sleeve.
