APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING GLASS FIBERS

摘要

This disclosure depicts a feeder or bushing (11) where the heat transfer members or fin shields (22) have outwardly disposed surfaces with a ceramic coating (30) bonded to those surfaces. The heat transfer surfaces also are in direct contact with and adjacent to the discharge wall of the feeder (11) where they act as support members to support the discharge wall. This combination is especially useful in designing feeders or bushings (11) with a greater number of orifices (14).
