Abstract: A glass sheet guidance apparatus includes a guidance member extending adjacent a conveyance path. In one example, an adjustment device selectively adjusts a length of the guidance member extending between a first holding structure and a second holding structure. In another example, the glass sheet guidance apparatus is configured to traverse a length of the guidance member and the glass sheet in a common direction of a conveyance path. Further examples include methods of guiding a glass sheet with the glass sheet guidance apparatus. In still further examples a method of manufacturing a glass sheet includes guiding the glass sheet.

Abstract: A spray nozzle is used in a process of quenching a hot glass sheet during a laser scoring process or other high energy glass heating process. The nozzle is located in proximity to the glass sheet, creating gas in the liquid used to quench the glass while in the nozzle. The gas is removed from the quenching liquid. Then, the spray nozzle is used to spray the quenching liquid onto the sheet at a location trailing laser scoring of the sheet. The spray nozzle has a purge opening and tubing leading to a discharge location, and can have a sloped passageway that pre-stages gas bubbles near the purge opening. The spray nozzle can include a cooling coil passing around the nozzle passageway to cool the quenching liquid passing through the nozzle, and increase the solubility of bubbles in the quenching liquid.

Abstract translation: 在激光刻痕过程或其它高能玻璃加热过程中，在将热玻璃板淬火的过程中使用喷嘴。 喷嘴位于玻璃板附近，在喷嘴中产生用于冷却玻璃的液体中的气体。 从淬火液中除去气体。 然后，喷雾喷嘴用于将片状物上的淬火液喷射到片材的位置上，该位置处于片材的激光刻痕处。 喷嘴具有吹扫开口和通向排放位置的管道，并且可以具有倾斜的通道，预先在吹扫口附近预分解气泡。 喷嘴可以包括通过喷嘴通道的冷却盘管，以冷却通过喷嘴的淬火液体，并且增加气泡在淬火液中的溶解度。
