    摘要: According to one embodiment, a method for forming a laminated glass sheet includes forming a multi-layer glass melt (300) from a molten core glass (106) and at least one molten cladding glass (126). The multi-layer glass melt (300) has a width Wm, a melt thickness Tm and a core to cladding thickness ratio TC:TCl. The multi-layer glass melt (300) is directed onto the surface of a molten metal bath (162) contained in a float tank (160). The width Wm of the multi-layer glass melt (300) is less than the width Wf of the float tank (160) prior to the multi-layer glass melt (300) entering the float tank (160). The multilayer glass melt (300) flows over the surface of the molten metal bath (162) such that the width Wm of the multi-layer glass melt (300) increases, the melt thickness Tm decreases, and the core to cladding thickness ratio TC:TCl remains constant as the multi-layer glass melt (300) solidifies into a laminated glass sheet. The invention also relates to the associated apparatus.

    摘要: A reformable area and a non-reformable area of a sheet of glass material are heated to a first temperature corresponding to a first viscosity. The reformable area is subsequently locally heated to a second temperature corresponding to a second viscosity, where the second viscosity is lower than the first viscosity. A bend is formed in the reformable area during the local heating of the reformable area by contacting a first pusher with the non-reformable area and translating the first pusher along a linear path to apply a pushing force to the non-reformable area that results in the bend in the reformable area or by contacting a second pusher with an edge area of the reformable area and rotating the pusher along a circular path to apply a pushing force to the edge area of the reformable area that results in the bend in the reformable area.

    摘要: A deformation apparatus for reforming a glass sheet comprises a central portion, a first edge mold movably coupled to a first end of the central portion and configured to be linearly translated along a linear mold axis in a first direction toward the central portion. The deformation apparatus further includes a second edge mold movably coupled to the second end of the central portion and configured to be linearly translated along the linear mold axis in a second direction opposite the first direction and toward the central portion. Methods are also provided including the step of cooling a reformed glass sheet, wherein a greater shrinkage of the reformed glass sheet relative to a shrinkage of the deformation apparatus is accommodated by a movement of at least the first edge mold in a first direction toward the central portion of the deformation apparatus.
