SU71216A1 - Apparatus for producing metal mesh reinforced or flat glass wire - Google Patents

Description

In devices used on vertical machines for the production of sheet metal-reinforced or wire glass, the mesh is fed over a glass mass. The grid is guided by a special fixture.

The proposed device is characterized in that the guiding device is partially or fully immersed in the glass melt.

FIG. I schematically depicts a device for producing a glass-reinforced metal mesh or wire; in fig. 2 - the device is somewhat different from the first.

The glass strip 3 is drawn out using rollers 2 from the mash / from the free surface of the glass mass b. The grid (or wire) 8 comes from the drum 13 through the window // onto the guide roller 7, from which it is introduced into the glass mass by means of disks 5 mounted on a rotating shaft 4 cooled by water. Tape cooling

water is flowing through the tubes 10. The back side of the ribbon, as well as the remaining glass melt, is cooled by the cooler 9.

In the device shown in FIG. 2, the net (or wire) 18 is fed to the guide roller 72, then passes under the tube 17, cooled by water and placed in the glass melt 14. Next, the net (or wire) falls into the stretchable strip 15 of glass. The cooling of the ribbon and glass melt is performed by refrigerators 16.
