<p>An apparatus is provided for producing continuous glass filaments (6) by spinning molten glass through nozzles (2) of a bushing (1) and cooling the thus-spun filaments (6) with fins (3) joined to one or more cooled manifolds (4) and arranged in a proximity of the nozzles (2). Each manifold (4) is provided at at least three locations thereof with at least one inlet port (5) and at least one outlet port (5) for coolant, respectively, with a proviso that the total number of the inlet and outlet ports (5) is the same as the number of the locations of the manifold (4). Without using a complex construction, this invention makes it possible to provide the fins (3) with improved durability and to produce the glass filaments (6) with improved quality. In particular, the present invention can be applied to large bushinqs each of which is equipped with a number of nozzles. <IMAGE></p> |
