Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a sleeve for glass tube molding capable of suppressing generation of foreign matter such as rust from a sleeve shaft and suppressing adhesion of foreign matter such as rust to the molten glass without degrading mechanical strength of the sleeve shaft. A sleeve for glass tube molding includes a sleeve shaft including a through-hole and a refractory cylindrical body inserted coaxially with the sleeve shaft around the sleeve shaft. A superior rust-resistant material having rust resistance superior to that of the sleeve shaft is provided to cover a part or whole of an inner surface of the through-hole of the sleeve shaft and to cover a tip of the sleeve shaft.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sleeve for glass tube molding comprising: a sleeve shaft including a through-hole; a refractory cylindrical body inserted coaxially with the sleeve shaft around the sleeve shaft; a pipe member including a superior rust-resistant material having rust resistance superior to that of the sleeve shaft, covering a part or whole of an inner surface of the through-hole of the sleeve shaft, and including a flange at one end covering a tip of the sleeve shaft; and a glass seal including a glass material, interposed between a tip surface of the sleeve shaft and the flange of the pipe member, directly contacting the tip surface and the flange, and further protruding outward than the flange in a radial direction of the flange. 2. The sleeve for glass tube molding according to claim 1 , the flange covers the tip of the sleeve shaft while the part or whole of the inner surface of the through-hole of the sleeve shaft is covered by inserting the pipe member into the through-hole of the sleeve shaft. 3. The sleeve for glass tube molding according to claim 2 , wherein an outer diameter of the flange is larger than an outer diameter of the tip of the sleeve shaft. 4. The sleeve for glass tube molding according to claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the flange is larger than an outer diameter of the tip of the sleeve shaft.
