Improvements in the Manufacture of Metal-coated Glass and
Porcelain Bottles, Jars, Jugs, Stoppers, and other like
Articles.
I, WILLIAM BOWERS FITCH, of New Cross Glass Works, Deptford, in the County
of Kent, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of metal-coated glass
and porcelain bottles, jars, jugs, stoppers and other like articles, more particularly
glass bottles having screw threads and screw threaded glass or porcelain stoppers.
In carrying out my invention I take a bottle or other article in glass or porcelain
and, while the same is in a heated condition, I plunge or immerse it in a bath of
molten metal, say, for example, tin, the said metal being kept heated to the required
temperature by any suitable means.
By this process I obtain a metal-coated glass or porcelain article such that the
metal coating is closely and permanently united to the glass or porcelain.
It will be obvious that, where only part of the article is to be coated, only such
part is immersed in the molten metal.
