    Abstract: A glass sleeve assembly for a portable electronic device may comprise a glass sleeve extending longitudinally from a first opening defined by a first rim to a second opening defined by a second rim. The glass sleeve may have an internal surface. A first end cap may be positioned adjacent to the first opening and may have at least a portion extending longitudinally beyond the first rim. A second end cap may be positioned adjacent to the second opening and may have at least a portion extending longitudinally beyond the second rim. A frame may comprise first and second ends and a central portion between the first and second ends. The central portion may be located within the glass sleeve. The ends of the frame may be connected to the end caps. Shock absorbing interlayers may be mounted to the end caps and the glass sleeve.

    Abstract: In embodiments, a conveyor apparatus can include a conveyor ribbon having a length, a width, a thickness less than the width, and a plurality of receiving apertures located along the length and extending through the thickness of the conveyor ribbon. The plurality of receiving apertures are dimensioned to receive and hold a plurality of glass articles. A conveyor drive and guidance system directs the conveyor ribbon along a predefined conveyor path. The predefined conveyor path can include an immersion section and a drain section. The immersion section can be oriented to direct the conveyor ribbon into and out of an immersion station and the conveyor ribbon is rotated about a horizontal axis in the drain section after being directed out of the immersion station.

    Abstract: A magnetic polisher and a method of use magnetic polisher for polishing a glass sleeve are described. The magnetic polisher may comprise at least one rotatable driver and at least one rotatable polishing tool. The at least one rotatable driver may comprise driver magnetic material. The at least one rotatable polishing tool may comprise tool magnetic material and a first polishing surface. At least one of the driver magnetic material and the tool magnetic material may be a magnet. The driver and polishing tool may be configured to be magnetically coupled with a workpiece. The workpiece may have at least a first internal surface to be polished. The workpiece may be located between the first polishing surface and the driver. The rotation of the driver about an axis may cause rotation of the first polishing surface against the first internal surface.

    Abstract: 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.
