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 glass 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 seating engagement of the orifice housing against the core and casing glass delivery mechanisms. A fluid manifold is mounted on the orifice housing, with an inlet for connection to a source of cooling fluid such as air. A plurality of outlets on the manifold are directed toward the area of seating engagement between the orifice ring housing and the core and casing glass delivery mechanisms for cooling the seating area and thereby reducing leakage of glass between the housing and the glass delivery mechanisms. Inasmuch as the cooling air manifold is mounted on and carried by the orifice housing, the manifold outlets are automatically directed toward the seating area upon seating of the orifice housing against the glass delivery mechanisms, and do not require separate replacement or adjustment.

Appareil servant à former 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 la gravité à partir des sources de verre et passe à travers les orifices alignés pour former un flux de verre doublé. Les orifices sont supportés par un logement pour orifices 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. Un collecteur de fluide monté sur le logement comporte une entrée pour raccordement à une source de fluide de refroidissement, comme de l'air, de même qu'une série de sorties dirigées vers la zone de contact entre le logement annulaire et les mécanismes de distribution de verre de coeur et de placage, afin de refroidir la zone de contact, ce qui permet de réduire les fuites de verre entre le logement et les mécanismes de distribution de verre. Étant donné que le collecteur d'air de refroidissement est monté sur le logement et supporté par ce dernier, les sorties du collecteur sont automatiquement dirigées vers la zone de contact lorsque le logement est mis en place contre les mécanismes de distribution de verre. Par conséquent, le collecteur ne requiert pas de remplacement ou de réglage distinct.
