Abstract
Abstract A process for finely dividing melts according to the nozzle drawing process is described wherein the pressure gradient of the gas flowing into the inlet opening of the drawing nozzle is increased by the provision of obstacles to that flow of gas. The obstacles may be streams or jets of gas directed a traverse of the flow of gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
In a process for the directing at least one gas propulsion jet from an opening in the inlet of the drawing nozzle in a range from perpendicular to the nozzle axis to laterally with a substantial component countercurrent to the melt stream entering the nozzle to increase the pressure gradient at the inlet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
In a process for the directing at least one gas propulsion jet from an opening in the inlet of the drawing nozzle in a range from perpendicular to the nozzle axis to laterally with a substantial component countercurrent to the melt stream entering the nozzle to increase the pressure gradient at the inlet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the fluid, which is discharged from the nozzle, amounts to from 2 to 40%, by weight, of the total quantity of gas entering the drawing nozzle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the jets of gas have a range which almost corresponds to the distance of the melt outflow opening from the inlet opening of the drawing nozzle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A process according to claim 3, wherein a slit-shaped drawing nozzle is used, into which a large number of flows of melt arranged in series enter, and the gas is blown into the gap between two flows of melt, in each case only from one side of the drawing nozzle, and that is with respect to adjacent gaps in each case from different sides.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
In a drawing nozzle for the production of mineral fibers according to the nozzle drawing process, the improvement comprising nozzles in the inlet of the drawing nozzle for the production of jets of fluid, the axes of these nozzles being from -30° to 0° with respect to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the drawing nozzle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
In a drawing nozzle for the production of mineral fibers according to the nozzle drawing process, the improvement comprising nozzles in the inlet of the drawing nozzle for the production of jets of fluid, the axes of these nozzles being from -30° to 0° with respect to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the drawing nozzle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process according to claim 4, wherein an extended slit-shaped drawing nozzle is used, into which enters, in each case, a staggered double row of flows of melt and the gas flows, in each case, from one side of the drawing nozzle towards one of the flows of melt which is flowing in from the opposite side.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the gas jets are inclined -30° to 0° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the drawing nozzle.
