  • Publication number: 20110177347
    Abstract: Provided is a glass roll utilizing a flanged roll core, and reliably inhibiting a glass film from breaking from an end portion in a width direction thereof as an origin of breakage. A glass roll (1) is formed by winding a glass film (4) and a cushion sheet (5), under a state of being superposed, around a roll core (3) including a flange (2) at each end portion thereof, in which an end portion in a width direction of the glass film (4) is separated from the flange (2) on each side in the width direction of the glass film (4), and the cushion sheet (5) is extended beyond the end portion in the width direction of the glass film (4) to the flange (2) side, to thereby form an extension portion (5a).

  • Publication number: 20110177290
    Abstract: Provided is a package form, with which cleanness of a glass film is ensured and the glass film is prevented from breaking. The package form is effective in minimizing the number of glass film processing steps to be performed before packaging and after unpackaging. As the package form for a glass film, provided is a glass roll (1) formed by winding a glass film (2) into a roll while superposing the glass film (2) on a protective sheet (3), the glass film (2) being formed by an overflow downdraw method and having exposed front and back surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20110177325
    Abstract: To provide a glass roll capable of reliably preventing a glass film from breaking from an end surface of the glass film as an origin of breakage, a glass roll (1) is formed by winding a glass film (2) into a roll while superposing the glass film (2) on a protective sheet (3), the glass film (2) being formed by an overflow downdraw method to have a thickness of 1 ?m or more and 200 ?m or less, and to have each end surface in a width direction to form a cut surface cut by laser splitting.

  • Patent number: 6949876
    Abstract: A glass member for use in a cathode ray tube is provided, which can facilitate the heating and softening of glass during sealing and raise the productivity without decreasing the mechanical strength of the product by improving the shapes of the seal end faces of the panel and funnel. In an edge area between an edge of the seal end face of each side part of the glass member for use in the cathode ray tube comprising a glass panel or a funnel and a position about 5 mm away along a tube axis from the edge, a thin edge part is formed to have a thickness decreasing part. The rate of thickness decreasing thereof toward the edge is larger than that of a standard shape in a root area adjacent to the edge area. Also, the thin edge part is formed so that an inequality of 0.3?t1/t0?0.7 is satisfied where t1 is a thickness at a position 1 mm away along the tube axis from the edge, and t0 is a thickness at a position 5 mm away along the tube axis from the edge.

  • Patent number: 6717347
    Abstract: A funnel-and-neck sealing body comprises a funnel having a substantially rectangular large opening to which a panel for projection tube is sealed, and a circular small opening; and a neck tube of substantially a cylindrical shape sealed to the small opening of the funnel. The neck tube has an electron gun installing region for installing an electron gun therein, and a yoke mounting region for mounting a deflection yoke externally thereon, wherein an outer diameter of the yoke mounting region is smaller than an outer diameter of the electron gun installing region.
