Abstract
A method and system for coating a glass contacting surface with a thermal barrier and lubricious coating. The system uses a novel exterior surface mixing tip device wherein oxygen is supplied through a predetermined portion of one supply line, and a predetermined gas is supplied through a predetermined portion of another supply line enveloping the first predetermined portion.
Claims20
A method of instantly coating a glass contacting surface with a dense thermal barrier carbon coating, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing at least one predetermined portion of a first gas supply line within and separated from at least a predetermined portion of a second gas supply line;
- directing a predetermined amount of oxygen through one of said gas supply lines to an external burning point;
- directing a predetermined amount of a predetermined gas through the other one of said gas supply lines to said external burning point;
- igniting said oxygen and said predetermined gas at said external burning point to form a flame which deposits said dense thermal barrier carbon coating on said glass contacting surface;
- and;
- controlling the size of said flame by varying a predetermined space between said predetermined portions of said first and second gas supply lines.

A system for instantly coating a glass making machine mold with a dense thermal barrier carbon coating, comprising, in combination:
- a glass making machine mold;
- an exterior surface mixing tip device selectively and movably positionable relative to said glass making machine mold;
- first gas supply means operably connected to said exterior surface mixing tip device;
- second gas supply means operably connected to said exterior surface mixing tip device;
- a predetermined amount of oxygen being supplied to said exterior surface mixing tip device through one of said gas supply means;
- a predetermined amount of a predetermined gas being supplied to said exterior surface mixing tip device through the other of said gas supply means;
- ignitor means positionable near the tip of said exterior surface mixing tip device for igniting the gasses thereat;
- and
- said exterior surface mixing tip device being constructed and arranged so that said oxygen and said predetermined gas mix with each other only at said tip of said exterior surface mixing tip device.
