Apparatus for forming a cased glass stream that includes at least one pair of aligned orifices coupled to sources of core and casing glass such that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the aligned orifices to form a cased glass stream. The orifices are carried by an orifice housing mounted on a frame for movement into abutment seating engagement of the orifice housing against the core and casing glass delivery mechanisms. The frame in accordance with the present invention includes a gimbal mounting arrangement mounting the orifice housing to the frame so as to be pivotable about a pair of pivot axes that are orthogonal to each other and to the axis of alignment of the orifices. This gimbal mounting arrangement helps accommodate misalignment between the seating surfaces on the orifice housing and the glass delivery mechanisms, and to reduce glass leakage during operation.

Appareil servant à la formation d'un flux de verre doublé, comprenant au moins une paire d'orifices alignés, raccordés à des sources de verre de coeur et de verre de placage, de sorte que le verre s'écoule par gravité à partir de la première et de la seconde sources en passant à travers les orifices alignés pour former un flux de verre doublé. Les orifices sont supportés par un logement monté sur un cadre permettant de déplacer le logement et de l'asseoir pour qu'il prenne appui contre les mécanismes de distribution de verre de coeur et de placage. Le cadre comprend un dispositif de suspension à la cardan qui permet de fixer le logement au cadre afin qu'il puisse pivoter sur des axes de pivotement orthogonaux l'un par rapport à l'autre et par rapport à l'axe d'alignement des orifices. Ce dispositif de suspension à la cardan aide le cadre à s'adapter au désalignement entre les surfaces d'appui du logement et les mécanismes de distribution de verre. Il permet également de réduire les fuites de verre pendant l'utilisation.
