Abstract: A glass ribbon coated with a flexible material, the flexible coating forming a flexible web portion that extends from an edge of the glass ribbon at least one millimeter. The flexible web portion can be used to facilitate handling of the glass ribbon in a manufacturing process, and may include registration markings, or perforations, that further facilitate precise positioning of the ribbon.

Abstract: A non-contact dancer mechanism for conveying a web of brittle material includes a guide rail and a variable position web support plenum adjustably positioned on the guide rail. The variable position web support plenum may include an arcuate outer surface with a plurality of fluid vents for emitting a fluid to support the web of brittle material over and spaced apart from the arcuate outer surface thereby preventing mechanical contact and damage to the web of brittle material. A support plenum counterbalance may be mechanically coupled to the variable position web support plenum, wherein the support plenum counterbalance supports at least a portion of the weight of the variable position web support plenum on the guide rail. Apparatuses incorporating the non-contact dancer mechanism and methods for using the non-contact dancer mechanism for handling continuous webs of brittle material are also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 用于输送脆性材料幅材的非接触式浮动机构包括可调节地定位在导轨上的导轨和可变位置幅材支撑室。 可变位置腹板支撑气室可以包括具有多个流体通气口的弧形外表面，用于发射流体以将脆性材料幅材支撑在弓形外表面上并与其隔开，从而防止脆性材料网的机械接触和损坏 。 支撑气室平衡机构可以机械联接到可变位置腹板支撑气室，其中支撑气室平衡平衡支撑导轨上的可变位置腹板支撑气室的重量的至少一部分。 还公开了结合非接触式浮动机构的装置和用于使用非接触浮动机构来处理连续的脆性材料网的方法。
