An apparatus intended for pushing hollow glass articles from a depositing plate of an IS glass-moulding machine onto a belt conveyor, which moves rectilinearly at a uniform speed, comprises a pusher (11) which is fixedly connected at one end thereof to a vertical shaft (10) and at the other end thereof bears an arrangement of pushing fingers (12) intended for making contact with the hollow glass articles to be pushed. The shaft (10) is mounted in a rotary table (6) and is in driving connection with a first rotary drive (13) carried by the rotary table whereas the rotary table (6), which is in driving connection with a second rotary drive (15'), is mounted by means of a hollow shaft (22), which extends parallel to the axis of the shaft (10), on a bearing bell (24) which is supported on a bracket (1). By means of control of the two rotary drives (13, 15'), an approximately exponential transfer curve of the pushing fingers (12), beginning on the depositing plate and ending on the belt conveyor, the transfer curve subjecting the hollow glass articles to the least possible stress, can be produced using simple means.
