    摘要: Various embodiments disclosed relate to an assembly for bending glass. The assembly includes a support extending along an x-direction and a y-direction. The support includes a support first major surface and opposed second major surface. The assembly further includes a bending ring attached to and extending vertically along a z-direction from the support first major surface substantially along an outer perimeter of the support first major surface. The assembly further includes a passive heat element disposed between the support first major surface and a top end of the bending ring.

    摘要: An apparatus for thermally strengthening a glass sheet includes a first heat sink surface, a second heat sink surface separated from said first heat sink surface by a gap between the heat sink surfaces of distance g, and a liquid feed structure positioned to be able to feed a liquid to the gap, wherein the distance g is sufficiently small relative to a thickness t of a glass sheet to be processed such that when a sheet of thickness t is positioned within the gap of distance g, thermal transfer from a first surface of the sheet facing the first heat sink surface is more than 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% or more by conduction from the first surface of the sheet through the liquid to the first heat sink surface.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for bending thin glass sheets are described. The methods and apparatus described include positioning an auxiliary heater between a furnace and an entrance to glass bending station and/or positioning a downstream auxiliary heater between a glass bending station and a quench station. Also described are apparatus and methods for bending thin glass sheets by compensating for heat loss and maintaining the glass viscosity within a workable range for the bending or forming operation. Auxiliary heating elements can be placed in locations that would otherwise provide for excessive heat loss.
