摘要:
A method of, and apparatus for, separating a sheet of glass along a score line on the sheet. The method comprises flexing the glass at the score line along an axis of flexure on the support to pre-stress the glass to a level below the critical stress level, and initiating a break at one end of the score line. The apparatus comprises a support for the sheet, the support defining an axis of flexure for alignment with the score line, at least one movable pressure member spaced above and on one side of the score line, a press head to move the pressure member into contact with the sheet of glass to pre-stress the sheet at the score line, and a break initiator at one end of the score line.

A facility for the production of curved or arcuate insulating glass panes for vehicle windows comprises a station for the application of a spacer and a station for the application of a rope of sealing compound onto a glass pane. Furthermore, stations are provided for the assembly of the insulating glass pane and for pressing the insulating glass pane. The glass panes (3) are transported on supports (5) in exact alignment to the individual stations and are retained in the stations by the supports (5) by virtue of a vacuum. For this purpose, the supports (5) are equipped with a vacuum storage (75) connected via conduits (7) to bores (6) in the supports (5).

The method relates to breaking glass sheets (5) with a line scored on one side, the glass sheet (5) being first raised at one end of the scored line and thereupon, in the remaining areas, it is progressively raised beginning with the initially lifted end. To carry out this breaking method, a breaking table (1) is provided of which the lifting strip (7) or roller can be raised on one side (I) first and then gradually lifted into the position II parallel to the table support surface (4). The glass sheet (5) is depressed on both sides of the lifting strip (7) or roller by suction heads (20) under partial vacuum or by boreholes (13) communicating with a source of partial vacuum.

The apparatus serves for a slipless conveyance of two coextensive parallel plates, which are in register and transversely spaced apart and supported on those broadsides which are remote from each other in respective planes of travel. The apparatus comprises at least two vacuum-applying conveyors, which are adapted to be driven in synchronism in a direction of travel and extend parallel to each other and are disposed opposite to each other and transversely spaced apart and are adapted to contact said plates on those broadsides which are remote from each other and to convey said plates in said direction of travel.

The invention relates to laying of a bead of plastic, of the type with a butyl rubber base, on the periphery of a glass sheet intended to go into the composition of a multiple layer glass sheet. The bead is deposited with an extrusion unit having a nozzle. The glass sheet and nozzle are both able to be driven in movements amounting to translations, these translations of the glass sheet and the nozzle being performed in different directions.
摘要:
An end effector apparatus for attachment to an industrial robot for transferring prepressed windshields to an autoclave tub. Vacuum cups engage and secure the windshield to the end effector for transfer of the windshield from an upender conveyor to the tub. A combination spacer clip sensing device and spacer clip retaining device senses the presence of a spacer clip on the top edge of the windshield and holds the clip in place during transfer.

The specification describes an apparatus for stacking and unstacking sheet material, more particularly glass sheets, comprising one or more suction plates, capable of moving towards a sheet material stack and adapted to be moved by a pressure cylinder actuator, and with a sensing member, which on making contact with the stack, the surface position of which changes as the stacking or unstacking progresses generates a pulse adapted to control movement of the piston rod of the pressure cylinder actuator. As a sensing member a switch (vacuum monitor, pressure monitor) responsive to changes in pressure is provided in the suction duct system of the suction plates and/or in the pressure duct system of the pressure cylinder actuator.
摘要:
Inspection apparatus for glass articles, particularly curved glass panes produced by a tempering and shaping furnace, including a jig providing a reference shape with which the shape of the article is compared, conveyors for feeding and removing the articles and a carriage for moving the articles between the conveyors and the jig and rejection means for rejecting broken or mishapen articles. The articles are lifted by pneumatic seizing devices carried by the carriage.
摘要:
Ganged scores are made in two directions on a sheet of glass in order to subdivide it into a plurality of small pieces. Interchangeable scoring tool holders are utilized to adapt the apparatus to different score spacings. Scoring pressure can be varied on each scoring tool individually or simultaneously on all scoring tools in a gang. Means for projecting a visual image is provided to aid accurate alignment of a patterned sheet of glass.

An article supporting surface, such as for handling sheets of glass provides an air cushion for supporting the sheets and suction for holding sheets against the surface. The surface is articulated and tilts and is mounted on tracks so that the sheets may be handled and moved.
