Abstract
The disclosure embraces a support arrangement for a stream flow section or area of a feeder or bushing adapted to flow a large number of streams of glass or other fiber-forming mineral material for attenuation to fibers or filaments wherein the support arrangement includes a tubular support means for the stream flow section connected with transversely arranged tubular members adapted to be attached to a mounting frame, the tubular means and members accommodating circulating cooling fluid for conveying away heat from an area of the feeder floor to eliminate sagging of the feeder floor section and to promote thermal stability of the heat-softened glass throughout the area of the feeder floor.
