    Abstract: Disclosed herein are glass forming furnaces and methods of using the same. The glass forming furnaces may include a housing and a bending ring. The housing may define a chamber. The bending ring may include a first inlet port, a first outlet port, and a channel. The bending ring may be located within the chamber. The channel may have a shape that is similar to a shape of a glass article. The channel may define a cavity fluidly connecting the first inlet port and the first outlet port.

    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a glass article for a vehicle interior system. The glass article includes a glass sheet with a first side and a second side. A first frame is disposed on the glass sheet on the first side of the glass sheet, and a second frame disposed on the second side of the glass sheet. A mandrel is disposed between the first frame and the second frame. The mandrel has a flexural rigidity of at least 150 Pa·m3 and a density of at most 2.75 g/cm3. The second side of the glass sheet rotates about the mandrel from a first configuration to a second configuration. In the first configuration, the first side forms a first angle with the second side, and in the second configuration. the first side forms a second angle with the second side. The first angle is different from the second angle.

    Abstract: A display assembly for an automotive interior includes a cover substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface; and a support structure. The support structure comprises a plurality of frame portions adhered to separate regions of the second major surface via an adhesive layer to retain the cover substrate in a curved configuration. A shear joint couples two of the plurality of frame portions to one another, the shear joint being configured to maintain a mechanical connection between the two frame portions despite bending stresses being present in the cover substrate, while permitting the two frame portions to move relative to one another along at least a first axis. A gap in the adhesive layer is disposed proximate to the shear joint, the gap decoupling thermally-induced strain distributions of different segments of the adhesive layer from one another via the shear joint.
