Gas-Ejecting Bearings For Transport Of Glass Sheets

View page
US Patent:
8511461, Aug 20, 2013
Filed:
May 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/465859
Inventors:
Gautam Narendra Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Weiwei Luo - Painted Post NY, US
Assignee:
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
B65G 45/22
C03B 35/24
US Classification:
198493, 198721, 65 252, 65 251, 65 254, 65 2915
Abstract:
Non-contact, gas-ejecting bearings () are provided for conveying flexible glass sheets (), such as LCD substrates, at high conveyance speeds, e. g. , speeds of 40 meters/minute and above, e. g. , 60 meters/minute. Gas is provided to the bearing's orifices () from a plenum which operates at a pressure Pand the bearings have a calculated static pressure Pat the midpoints () between the bearing's centermost orifice () and each of its nearest neighbors () in a horizontal direction which satisfies the relationship P/P≧0. 05. The bearings () can reduce the time-averaged, peak-to-peak variation in the spacing between a LCD substrate () traveling at, for example, 60 meters/minute and the face () of the bearing () to less than 500 microns, thus reducing the chances that the substrate () will hit and be damaged by the bearing ().

Non-Contact Etching Of Moving Glass Sheets

US Patent:
8535548, Sep 17, 2013
Filed:
Nov 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/671883
Inventors:
Gautam Narendra Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Chih Yuan Lu - Gangshan Township, Kaohsiung County, TW
Weiwei Luo - Painted Post NY, US
Yoshihiro Nakamura - Shizuoka, JP
Tetsuzou Yamada - Makinohara, JP
Assignee:
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
B44C 1/22
US Classification:
216 31, 216 92, 216 97
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for etching flexible glass sheets () in which the sheets () are transported in a near vertical orientation past non-contact, liquid-ejecting bearings () which apply an etching solution (e. g. , an aqueous NaF/HPOsolution) to the sheets (). In certain embodiments, the uppermost liquid-ejecting bearing () is above the top edge of the sheet () and thus is able to apply etching solution to the top of the sheet. In other embodiments, a top shower (), which includes a set of spray nozzles () located above and distributed along the length of the apparatus, is used to apply etching solution to the top of the sheet (). Using the disclosed methods and apparatus, glass sheets () produced by a fusion process are provided which have areas greater than five square meters and average surface roughness values in the range of 0. 5 nanometers to 1. 1 nanometers.

Thermal Tensioning During Thermal Edge Finishing

View page
US Patent:
20080041833, Feb 21, 2008
Filed:
Aug 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/507294
Inventors:
Nicholas Dominic Cavallaro - Corning NY, US
Gautam Narendra Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Weiwei Luo - Painted Post NY, US
Ljerka Ukrainczyk - Painted Post NY, US
Sam Sammer Zoubi - Horseheads NY, US
International Classification:
B23K 26/00
US Classification:
21912185, 21912166, 264482, 65104
Abstract:
A thermal edge-finishing process includes pre-heating an edge of a glass sheet, focused heating inboard of the edge to cause thermal tensioning, laser finishing the edge, and localized annealing of the edge. By stress cancellation, the thermal energy added by a laser edge-finishing operation does not result in as much residual stress. By the present process, residual stress is reduced to below 3000 psi, and more preferably to about 1000 psi, and as low as 600 psi in the first 1 mm along the treated edge.

Thermal Edge Finishing

US Patent:
20080202167, Aug 28, 2008
Filed:
Feb 20, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/070585
Inventors:
Nicholas Dominic Cavallaro - Corning NY, US
Gautam Narendra Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Toshihiko Ono - Fukuroi-shi, JP
Ljerka Ukrainczyk - Painted Post NY, US
Sam Samer Zoubi - Horseheads NY, US
International Classification:
C03B 25/02
C03B 33/03
B23K 26/073
B23K 26/40
US Classification:
65104, 65105, 21912168, 21912169
Abstract:
A thermal edge finishing process includes preheating at least one cut edge of a glass sheet, laser finishing the edge to a single full continuous radius from a position orthogonal to the edge and in-plane with the glass sheet while continuing to heat the glass, and localized annealing of the edge to reduce residual stress from the laser/thermal treatment of the edge. By the present process, edge stress is reduced considerably, such as to less than 3000 psi, and more preferably to less than 2500 psi, and to as low as 1000 psi in the first 1 mm along the treated edge.

Method For Processing An Edge Of A Glass Plate

View page
US Patent:
20110021116, Jan 27, 2011
Filed:
Jul 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/508762
Inventors:
James W. Brown - Painted Post NY, US
Tadashi Kitamura - Hamamatsu-shi, JP
Gautam N. Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Siva Venkatachalam - Painted Post NY, US
International Classification:
B24B 9/10
B24B 1/00
US Classification:
451 44, 451 57, 451261, 451388
Abstract:
A method for beveling a thin glass plate by simultaneously grinding an edge of the glass using multiple abrasive cup wheels, wherein the edge of the glass plate is extended from the fixturing device. The extension of the glass plate allows the glass plate to bend in response to forces applied by the abrasive cup wheels, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the grinding process to variations in position of the abrasive wheels. The axes of rotation of the abrasive wheels are separated by a distance selected to prevent deflection in the glass plate caused by a first abrasive wheel to influence the deflection in the glass plate caused by a second (adjacent) abrasive wheel.

Apparatus And Method For Separating A Glass Sheet

US Patent:
20110126593, Jun 2, 2011
Filed:
Nov 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/627326
Inventors:
Rashid Abdul-Rahman - Horseheads NY, US
Gautam Narendra Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Yukio Yuhara - Sakai City, JP
International Classification:
C03B 21/02
US Classification:
65 97, 65174
Abstract:
A method of separating a moving glass ribbon to form an individual sheet of glass is disclosed comprising a plurality of nosing members that move in a direction and at a speed that the moving glass ribbon is moving. The nosing members can be positioned independently of each other, and can be positioned adjacent to but not in contact with the ribbon during the scoring operation to restrict out-of-plane movement of the glass ribbon (movement substantially transverse to the draw direction of the ribbon) during the separation phase of the process.

B32B 3/00
US Classification:
428141, 216 92, 1563452
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for etching flexible glass sheets () in which the sheets () are transported in a vertical or near vertical orientation past non-contact, liquid-ejecting bearings () which apply an etching solution (e.g., an aqueous NaF/HPOsolution) to one or both sides of the sheets (). In certain embodiments, the uppermost liquid-ejecting bearing () is above the top edge of the sheet () and thus is able to apply etching solution to the top of the sheet. In other embodiments, a top shower (), which includes a set of spray nozzles () located above and distributed along the length of the apparatus, is used to apply etching solution to the top of the sheet (). Using the disclosed methods and apparatus, glass sheets () produced by a fusion process are provided which have areas greater than five square meters and average surface roughness values in the range of 0.5 nanometers to 1.1 nanometers.

Apparatus And Method For Making Glass Sheet With Improved Sheet Stability

View page
US Patent:
20120048905, Mar 1, 2012
Filed:
Nov 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/942124
Inventors:
Gautam Narendra Kudva - Horseheads NY, US
Liming Wang - Painted Post NY, US
Wei Xu - Missouri City TX, US
Naiyue Zhou - Painted Post NY, US
International Classification:
B26F 3/00
US Classification:
225 2, 225 96
Abstract:
Apparatus and equipment for making glass sheet from a glass ribbon including scoring, bending and separation in vertical state with improved glass ribbon stability provided by edge restrainers located above the score-line that also travel with substantially the same vertical velocity with the elastic ribbon. The edge restrainers on both sides of the glass ribbon serve to limit the motion and perturbation of the ribbon during scoring, bending and separation, advantageously by tensioning the glass ribbon where needed. The invention can reduce disturbance of the glass ribbon in upstream visco-elastic and/or viscous zones due to scoring, bending and separation, therefore enhance forming process stability and product attributes such as thickness variation, stress and stress variation, and the like. The invention can be particularly advantageous for making glass sheet with large width and/or low thickness using the fusion down-draw, slot down-draw, re-draw down-draw, and other down-draw processes.
