    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass container includes melting a batch material, which contains cullet, to produce molten glass having a soda-lime-silica chemical composition. A flow of molten glass is delivered to a forehearth and conditioned within the forehearth, which includes reducing a temperature of the flow of molten glass such that the temperature of the flow of molten glass at an outlet of the forehearth is less than the temperature of the flow of molten glass at an inlet of the forehearth. Additionally, the method involves introducing colored cullet into the flow of molten glass, which produces colored striations within the glass flow. An output of conditioned molten glass is discharged from the forehearth and a glass container is formed from the conditioned molten glass. The glass container has a glass substrate that includes random streaks of color.

    Abstract: A method of producing flint glass using submerged combustion melting is disclosed. The method includes operating a submerged combustion melter such that combustion products are discharged from one or more submerged burners combusting a combustible gas mixture that comprises fuel and oxygen. An oxygen-to-fuel ratio of the combustible gas mixture ranges from stoichiometry to 30% excess oxygen relative to stoichiometry, a temperature of a glass melt in the submerged combustion melter is between 1200° C. and 1500° C., a residence time of the glass melt is maintained between 1 hour and 10 hours, and a specific throughput rate of molten glass discharged from the submerged combustion melter ranges from 2 tons per day per meter squared of cross-sectional area of the submerged combustion melter [tons/day/m2] to 25 tons/day/m2. A method of forming glass containers from the molten glass discharged from the melter is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a multi-tone glass vessel includes depositing a molten-glass first gob of a first glass color into a mold having a lower end and an upper end. An initial quantity of gas is injected into the mold in order to form a gob cavity within the first gob and cause the first gob to partially inflate and expand toward the upper end of the mold. A molten-glass second gob of a second glass color is deposited into the mold over the partially-inflated first gob. The introduction of a second quantity of gas into the gob cavity within the mold forms the first and second gobs into a single, multi-tone vessel of predetermined shape.

    Abstract: The present invention pertains to an apparatus for forming glass. The apparatus comprises a mold for holding molten glass. Additionally, the apparatus comprises a mechanism for applying pressure to the molten glass in the mold. The apparatus comprises a controller for controlling the applying mechanism such that pressure is applied to the glass at predetermined times. The present invention pertains to a method for forming glass. The method comprises the steps of placing molten glass in a mold. Preferably, the placing step includes the step of placing the molten glass at a temperature greater than 800.degree. C. into the mold. Next there is the step of applying pressure greater than ambient pressure to the molten glass in the mold. Before the applying step, there is preferably the step of cooling the molten glass to a predetermined temperature. The applying step preferably includes the step of applying the pressure until the pressure reaches a peak when the molten glass is cooled to a quench temperature T.sub.q. Preferably, the applying step includes pressing a solid cooled quencher, such as a plate having piping with coolant flowing through it, against the molten glass. Preferably, the applying step includes the step of applying a peak pressure of 50-100 atmospheres when the temperature of the molten glass at its surface is greater than or equal to T.sub.q. Then there is the step of cooling molten glass while applying the pressure. The cooling step preferably includes the step of cooling the glass at the peak pressure until the glass at its center has reached a temperature of T.sub.b. After the cooling step, there is preferably the step of reducing the pressure to ambient pressure. Next there is the step of solidifying the molten glass.

    Abstract: The movable side portions of a mould of a cyclicly operating glassware forming machine have cooling passages passing upwardly therein from an entrance in a bottom surface of the side portion. A plenum chamber is formed beneath the side portions and has upwardly opening exits which communicate with the entrances of the cooling passages when the side portions are stationary in either an open or a closed position thereof so that cooling air can pass into the cooling passages. In this way, each cooling passage can be supplied with air at substantially the same pressure and low pressure air can be used.
