ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves an electrical resistance heated bushing for melting inorganic materials, particularly glass, and for exuding molten material through a plurality of orifices in the bushing to form fibers suitable for coating with metal in conventional ways. The bushing of the present invention has an output capacity of almost 300% that of typical prior art bushings used for this purpose. Furthermore, the bushing of the present invention has increased operating efficiency substantially. The average running time before a breakout occurs has been extended 5 to 10 fold.
