==GLASS SUBSTRATE CHEMICAL STRENGTHENING FURNACE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174560 titled 'GLASS SUBSTRATE CHEMICAL STRENGTHENING FURNACE APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The glass substrate chemical strengthening furnace apparatus described in the abstract includes a bottom portion and a side wall defining a reaction space, as well as a plurality of heaters providing heat to the reaction space. The bottom portion features an inclined portion at the center and a collection portion in a groove shape, with the upper surface of the collection portion further recessed than the inclined portion. Additionally, the plurality of heaters includes a bottom heater located in or adjacent to the bottom portion.

* Glass substrate chemical strengthening furnace apparatus:
    - Includes bottom portion and side wall defining reaction space
    - Plurality of heaters provide heat to reaction space
    - Bottom portion has inclined portion and collection portion in groove shape
    - Collection portion's upper surface is further recessed than inclined portion
    - Plurality of heaters includes bottom heater in or adjacent to bottom portion

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in industries such as glass manufacturing, electronics, and automotive, where chemically strengthened glass substrates are used.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently and effectively strengthening glass substrates through a specialized furnace apparatus, ensuring uniform heating and strengthening of the glass.

== Benefits ==
