A takeout mechanism for simultaneously removing a plurality of glass containers from molds at a section of a glass container forming machine of the individual section type, and preferably three such glass containers in each cycle. The takeout mechanism includes a plurality of tong assemblies, one such tong assembly for each container to be removed on each operating cycle of the takeout mechanism, and a cylinder housing to which each of the takeout assemblies is secured for moving the takeout assemblies in unison to transfer the glass containers from the molds to a deadplate of the machine for cooling and further processing. Each tong assembly comprises a vertically extending fixed member, a linkage system carried by the fixed member for opening and closing an opposed pair of generally L-shaped tongs, and an opposed pair of tongs pivotably connected to the linkage system. A nut and bolt assembly is provided to connect the tongs to the linkage system to permit adjustment of the elevation of the tongs, and a threaded member passes through one of the opposed pair of tongs to engage the fixed member to permit adjustment of the position of the opposed pair of tongs in a horizontal plane relative to the position of the fixed member.
