DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A FLAT GLASS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051863 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A FLAT GLASS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a device and method for obtaining flat glasses with uniform thickness. The method involves drawing a glass ribbon, and using an aperture to maintain a small and consistent gap between the glass ribbon and the aperture, even when the position of the glass ribbon changes.

  • The device and method aim to produce flat glasses with uniform thickness.
  • The method involves drawing a glass ribbon.
  • An aperture is used to maintain a small and consistent gap between the glass ribbon and the aperture.
  • The method ensures the small gap remains constant even when the position of the glass ribbon changes.

Potential Applications:

  • Glass manufacturing industry
  • Automotive industry (windshields, windows)
  • Electronics industry (display screens)
  • Construction industry (windows, glass panels)

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistent thickness in flat glasses
  • Difficulty in maintaining a consistent gap between the glass ribbon and the aperture during the drawing process

Benefits:

  • Production of flat glasses with uniform thickness
  • Improved quality control in glass manufacturing
  • Enhanced performance and durability of glass products
  • Cost savings in production processes


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure provides a device and a method with which flat glasses with particularly uniform thickness can be obtained. the methods are drawing methods in which a glass ribbon is drawn. in the method an aperture is used which allows a defined very small slit between the glass ribbon and the aperture also in the case of a change of the position of the glass ribbon.
