Patent number: 6822208Abstract: The microwave unit door includes a metallic door frame (1) with an interior glass pane (3) and outer glass pane (2) held spaced apart in it. To improve the observability of the interior of the microwave unit without loosing the microwave shielding effect, e.g. previously provided by a metal screen between the glass panes, and to prevent condensate formation, the interior glass pane (3) closest to the processing space (I) has at least one optically transparent electrically conductive first layer (13) with a microwave absorption capability such that it heats up to prevent condensate formation during operation. The outer glass pane (2) has at least one optically transparent electrically conductive second layer (12) reflecting microwaves passing through the first layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2004Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Schott GlasInventors: Inka Henze, Stefan Bauer, Oliver Gros, Bernd Schultheis

Patent number: 6601575Abstract: The window for a hot chamber sealed off from the surroundings includes a multi-pane module. The multi-pane module has at least two transparent panes (1, 2) held apart by peripheral spacers (3) and interconnected with the peripheral spacers (3) in a gas-tight fashion so that the transparent panes and spacers bound an interior space (9). The peripheral spacers (3) are provided with at least one through-going opening (5), each of which is closed with a replaceable, permeable filter pad (6). This permeable filter pad (6) permits gases to penetrate the filter pad (6) for gas exchange in order to prevent pressure build up in the interior space between the panes and spacers, but prevents water vapor and other vapors containing grease, oil and other contaminating particles from entering the interior space.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2002Date of Patent: August 5, 2003Assignee: Schott GlasInventors: Oliver Gros, Kurt Leuntner

Patent number: 6555794Abstract: There is now provided a stove for cooking food and like appliances with a door having a window and a temperature indicating device. The temperature indicating device can be on a glass door of a heating and/or cooling device, whereby a color change indicates the temperature, and whereby an indicator is provided between two plates of the glass door which consists of two or more plates. The indicator is configured to change color upon the interior temperature of the appliance reaching a predetermined temperature.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2001Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Assignee: Schott GlasInventors: Kurt Leutner, Oliver Gros, Joachim Grützke, Bernhard Götz, Walter Gramlich

Publication number: 20030066825Abstract: There is now provided an electric stove to cook food having electric heating elements to cook food, arrange with the body of the electric stove upon cooking of food with the electric stove and having a structure on the electric stove body to protect the electric stove while cooking with the electric heating elements when the electric heating elements are turned on and when the electric heating elements may be either hot or cold, the exterior of the electric stove from scratches and abrasive wear during use of the electric stove upon cooking with the electric heating elements when the electric heating elements are turned on and when the electric heating elements may be either hot or cold and an inner structure to minimize heat from the interior of the electric stove reaching the exterior of the electric stove during use of the electric heating elements to cook food. This invention is applicable to like appliances. The outer structure has a hardness which is greater than the hardness of inner structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2002Publication date: April 10, 2003Inventors: Kurt Leutner, Oliver Gros, Geerd Rupp

Publication number: 20030029440Abstract: According to prior art, such windows are typically configured as a multiple glass pane module which is provided with at least two transparent glass panes (1, 2) that are held by means of distance pieces (3) in such a way that said panes are spaced apart. Said distance pieces are glued together with said panes (1, 2) in a gas-tight manner. The aim of the invention is to provide a gas pressure compensation between the inner chamber between the two panes (1, 2) and the surroundings without said panes getting dirty. According to the invention, the window is designed in such a way that at least one opening (5) is embodied in the distance pieces (3). Said opening is closed by means of a permeable filter (6) that enables gas to penetrate for pressure compensation but prevents steam and vapours to enter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2002Publication date: February 13, 2003Inventors: Oliver Gros, Kurt Leuntner

Patent number: 5876472Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of producing a chemically pretensioned glass body. In the method, a glass body is provided having a composition in percent by weight on oxide basis: SiO.sub.2 70-85; B.sub.2 O.sub.3 8-15; Na.sub.2 O 1-5; K.sub.2 O 1-<5; Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 1-5; MgO 0-3; SrO+BaO 0-2; CaO 0-3; ZnO 0-3; with CaO+ZnO 2-6; and, ZrO.sub.2 0-3.5. The glass body is placed in an ion exchange salt bath containing at least 90% by weight of potassium salts. The salt bath is maintained at a temperature below the transformation point Tg of the glass defined by the glass composition for a duration of at least 2.0 hr causing potassium ions from the salt bath to migrate into the surface region of the glass body to thereby produce the chemically pretensioned glass body.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1997Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: Schott GlaswerkeInventors: Oliver Gros, Sabine Melson, Roland Leroux, Otmar Becker, Dietrich Busch
