Abstract: A rigid, hollow cylindrical insert is designed to be located and to remain in the end portion of a deformable plastic tube. The end portion of the tube is situated between thin film layers with the insert aligned with an edge to be sealed. The assembly is placed between the mating pressure dies to be welded. In a single operation, the edges of the layers are sealed to form a pouch as the tube end portion is welded to the layers along the seam at the top of the pouch. The insert supports the tube end portion in a non-deformed state during welding. This permits an effective weld to be obtained with tubes of various structures and, particularly, very soft tubes such as ones with thin walls composed of polyvinylchloride.

The overall length of the plunger and the injection nozzle matches the height of the interior of the vessel housing. Thus, all of the fixing agent can be injected as a result of pressure applied to the base of the vessel housing.

Abstract: A continuous casting nozzle has a relatively narrow dispensing slot reinforced against flexing along its length by intermittent supporting structure. The nozzle may be a tubular insert member to be received in a mounting means, such as a support plate and providing the reinforcement. The nozzle may be formed from a hollow tubular member with longitudinally aligned sectors or openings formed in the side wall to provide passage of the molten metal to the dispensing slot.
