Abstract: A flexible ribbon configuration includes a flexible glass ribbon including a leading end and a trailing end. In one example, the flexible ribbon configuration includes at least one ribbon extension extending between a first end and an opposing second end. In another example, the first end of the ribbon extension is attached to at least one of the trailing end and the leading end of the flexible glass ribbon. In yet another example, the at least one ribbon extension defines an elongated opening between the first end of the ribbon extension and the second end of the ribbon extension. Further examples include a method of making a flexible ribbon configuration. Still further examples include a method of separating a flexible ribbon configuration.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for processing flexible glass are disclosed. The flexible glass is directed along a conveyance path through a glass laminate processing apparatus. The glass laminate processing apparatus includes a glass laminate pay-out spool paying out flexible glass and a first laminate material electrostatically pinned to each other in a glass laminate. The glass laminate processing apparatus also includes at least one electrostatic charging head positioned downstream of a pay-out spool, where the electrostatic charging head neutralizes an electrostatic charge on at least one of the flexible glass or the first laminate material that are electrostatically pinned to each another in the glass laminate. The glass laminate processing apparatus further includes a laminate material take-up spool positioned downstream of the electrostatic device collecting the first laminate material.
