GLASS ARTICLES MADE FROM LAMINATED GLASS TUBING AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONVERTING LAMINATED GLASS TUBING INTO THE GLASS ARTICLES

Methods for producing glass articles from laminated glass tubing include introducing the glass tubing to a converter. The glass tubing includes a core layer under tensile stress, an outer clad layer under, and an inner clad layer. The methods include forming a feature the glass article at a working end of the laminated glass tubing and separating a glass article from the working end of the laminated glass tubing, which may expose the core layer under tensile stress at the working end of the glass tubing. The method further comprises remediating the exposed portion of the core layer by completely enclosing the core layer in a clad layer. Systems for re-cladding the exposed portion of the core layer as well as glass articles made using the systems and methods are also disclosed.

JET SYSTEM FOR JETTING LAMINATED GLASS PANELS OF DIFFERING WIDTHS

The present invention relates to an emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths, a glass cutting device for processing laminated glass panels of different widths with such an emitter system, a manufacturing method for such an emitter system and a use of such an emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths. An emitter system in accordance with the present invention for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths comprises a plurality of elongated emitters. The elongated emitters are arranged one behind the other on a common longitudinal axis. The elongated emitters each have two ends, which are angled in relation to the common longitudinal axis. The emitter system is arranged in a glass cutting device.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING GLASS PANEL UNIT, AND GLASS PANEL UNIT ASSEMBLY

A arrangement step includes arranging a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate to make the first and second glass substrates face each other with a seal member interposed between themselves. A bonding step includes bonding the first and second glass substrates via the seal member. A cutting step includes cutting off the first and second glass substrates along the same line when viewed in a facing direction in which the first and second glass substrates bonded together face each other and along the seal member. A cutting step is the step of forming multiple sets of the first and second glass substrates divided by cutting off the first and second glass substrates along a plane where the seal member remains on respective sides of cross sections of the first and second glass substrates divided.
