GLASS STRENGTH EVALUATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17870834 titled 'GLASS STRENGTH EVALUATION APPARATUS AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The glass strength evaluation apparatus described in the patent includes a support unit, a plate, a fixing jig, and a power unit. The fixing jig is used to lift or lower the glass article being tested.

  • The apparatus includes a support unit, a plate, a fixing jig, and a power unit.
  • The plate has a surface where the glass article to be tested is placed.
  • The fixing jig is positioned on the plate and can be lifted or lowered by the power unit.
  • The fixing jig consists of a body portion and lower fixing bolts.
  • The body portion extends vertically and has a press-fitting member insertion opening.
  • Lower fixing bolt insertion holes are present in the body portion, allowing the lower fixing bolts to be inserted.
  • The lower fixing bolts are coupled into the lower fixing bolt insertion holes.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Glass manufacturing industry: The apparatus can be used to evaluate the strength of glass articles during production.
  • Research and development: The apparatus can aid in testing and improving the strength of different types of glass.
  • Quality control: The apparatus can be used to ensure that glass articles meet specific strength requirements before being sold or used.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplified glass strength evaluation: The apparatus provides a straightforward and efficient method for testing the strength of glass articles.
  • Precise positioning: The fixing jig allows for accurate placement and adjustment of the glass article during testing.
  • Versatility: The apparatus can be used for various sizes and shapes of glass articles.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Time-saving: The apparatus enables quick and reliable evaluation of glass strength.
  • Cost-effective: By identifying weak points in glass articles, the apparatus helps prevent potential failures and reduces waste.
  • Improved product quality: The apparatus ensures that glass articles meet required strength standards, enhancing overall product quality and safety.


Original Abstract Submitted

A glass strength evaluation apparatus includes a support unit, a plate disposed on the support unit and including a surface on which a glass article, which is a target to be tested, is disposed, a fixing jig disposed on the plate and a power unit lifting up or down the fixing jig in a vertical direction toward the surface of the plate. The fixing jig includes a body portion, which extends in the vertical direction and lower fixing bolts. A press-fitting member insertion opening is recessed from a bottom of the body portion to extend in an upward direction, lower fixing bolt insertion holes penetrate the body portion, from one side of the body portion, in a first horizontal direction intersecting the vertical direction, to be extended to the press-fitting insertion opening, and lower fixing bolts are coupled into the lower fixing bolt insertion holes.
