    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method for modifying the shape of a hollow structure. The method may comprise steps of providing a hollow structure having a cross-section with first and second diameters defining a first aspect ratio; heating at least a part of the hollow structure to at least its glass transition temperature, forming a malleable hollow structure; maintaining a positive pressure inside the malleable hollow structure to form a pressurized hollow structure; and pressing against a first side and an opposed second side of a heated part of the pressurized hollow structure, forming a hollow tabular structure having first and second opposed generally flat faces and a second aspect ratio greater than the first aspect ratio.

    Abstract: A glass or glass-ceramic sheet includes peaks and valleys, where a cross-sectional profile in one direction along the sheet contains a first plurality of peaks, and a cross-sectional profile along the sheet in a perpendicular direction to that direction contains a second plurality of peaks. The first plurality is different from the second plurality of peaks.

    Abstract: An apparatus (100) for making glass tubing (200) of a desired non-circular cross-sectional profile (cf FIG. 3) includes a mandrel (101) adapted for positioning proximate heat-softened tubing. The mandrel (101) has a nose (102) and a nozzle section (120) with a chosen profile that will define a final cross-sectional profile of the tubing. The nozzle section (120) has a feed chamber (140) for receiving a gas from a source (207) and a porous and/or foraminous circumferential surface (132,134) through which the gas can be discharged to an exterior of the mandrel. The gas discharges to the exterior of the mandrel, forming a film of pressurized gas in the gap (314, 318) between the porous circumferential surface (132,134) and the heat-softened tubing (200). A method of forming tubing having a non-circular cross-sectional profile using the apparatus is also provided. A glass sleeve made from the reshaped or formed tubing is also disclosed: a monolithic sleeve made of parallel, opposite, flat and smooth front and back covers for use in an electronic device (cf FIG. 13). Some glass-ceramic materials may also be suitable for the tubing, such as transparent beta spodumene.

    Abstract: Complexly-curved glass articles and methods of forming the same are described herein. The glass articles described herein may be reformed via application of vacuum pressure thereto. The glass articles may comprise a first glass layer comprising a first non-developable curved shape defined by a first curved surface and a second curved surface. At least one of the first curved surface and the second curved surface comprises a surface area of 60.000 mm2 or more. A thickness of the glass articles may comprise a uniformity of +/−75 microns per 1000 mm2 of surface area. The non-developable curved shape may comprise a maximum compressive strain shape parameter, as measured between an imaginary central surface disposed between the first curved surface and the second curved surface and an imaginary surface, of greater than or equal to 3.0%.
