Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing a dumet wire or a similar thin metal wire coated with a different metal wherein a small capillary device, which provides above the level of a molten metal bath a small capillary space to be filled with the molten metal by virtue of capillary attraction, is dipped into the molten metal bath, and a metal wire to be coated is passed through a molten metal pool created in the capillary space.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
28 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the small capillary device comprises a pair of walls facing each other and a bottom connecting ends of the two walls.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the small capillary device is a short piece of a capillary tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein the small capillary device has holes in the walls through which a wire to be coated is passed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein the capillary tube has holes in the tube wall through which a wire to be coated is passed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
123 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the molten metal is contained in a vessel which has a cylindrical passage for the wire vertically protruded from the bottom of the vessel through which the wire runs without contacting the molten metal in the vessel and the capillary device is a double-walled cap put on said cylindrical passage, the open lower edges of which are immersed in the molten metal so that the molten metal fills the gap formed by the double walls by virtue of a capillary attraction, and the double walls have holes which are provided in a top position of the cap corresponding to that of the protruded cylindrical passage so that the wire runs through the passage and the holes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the distance of the capillary gap is a maximum of 2 mm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the capillary space provided by the small capillary device has a bulged middle part, the width thereof being a maximum of 5 mm.
