    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.

    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: An apparatus and method for shaping a substantially planar glass substrate are disclosed. The glass substrate is supported on a shaping body having a substantially planar central portion and arcuate edge portions. The substrate is heated by a suitable radiant heat source wherein a thermal shield is used to shield a centrally located surface of the glass substrate so that only edge portions of the glass substrate are heated and softened. Gravity causes the glass substrate edge portions to sag and conform to the shape of the shaping body. In some embodiments, shaping members are pressed against the glass substrate edge portions to aid in the conforming. In certain other embodiments, a plurality of glass substrates are sequentially deformed by a shaping die.
