    摘要: Apparatus is provided for supplying glass to glass melters, the glass specifically being glass bodies in the form of marbles or balls. The marbles are fed by gravity from a hopper to melting units therebelow through flexible supply chutes. Between the hopper and the supply chutes are ejector chutes for ejecting pieces of broken marbles prior to reaching the flexible supply chutes, to avoid jamming therein. The ejector chute has at least one elongate opening extending the length thereof and of a size to pass through broken marbles.
