▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Glass manufacturing system (10) has a glass forming sub-system (12) including a blank mold (16) having blank mold loading axis, and a molten glass handling sub system including a glass feeder to feed molten glass along a feeder axis, a transport cup to receive molten glass, and movable carrier to support transport cup and carry the transport cup away from the feeding axis to the loading axis. The transport cup comprises graphite, graphene, platinum, boron nitride, aluminum nitride or silicon carbide or beryllium oxide. The movable carriers move independently of one another. USE - Glass manufacturing system for transporting molten glass (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The glass manufacturing system improves the accuracy at which molten glass is charged into the blank mold. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for transporting molten glass, which involves: (1) receiving molten glass from a glass feeder along a feeder axis into a transport cup, where the transport cup is supported by a movable carrier; (2) transporting the movable carrier to bring the transport cup over a blank mold having a blank mold loading axis; (3) dispensing the molten glass into the blank mold along the blank mold loading axis; (4) returning the movable carrier to the glass feeder for reloading the transport cup. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic side elevational view of a glass manufacturing system. 10Glass manufacturing system 12Glass forming sub-system 14Molten glass handling sub-system 16Blank mold 24Cullet reject system
