  • Publication number: 20240010542
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a glass article of a vehicle interior system. The glass article includes a frame having a curved support surface. The frame is configured to hold at least one magnet. The glass article also includes a glass sheet having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. The glass sheet is arranged with the second major surface facing toward the curved support surface. The glass article further includes a metal strip disposed on the glass sheet. The metal strip and the at least one magnet create a magnetic connection sufficient to hold the glass sheet in conformity with the curved support surface.

  • Publication number: 20230286252
    Abstract: Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the vehicle interior system includes a base having a curved surface, and a glass substrate. The glass substrate has a first major surface, a second major surface, a minor surface connecting the first and second major surfaces, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm. The second major surface has a first radius of curvature of 500 mm or greater. When an impactor having a mass of 6.8 kg impacts the first major surface at an impact velocity of 5.35 m/s to 6.69 m/s, the deceleration of the impactor is 120 g (g-force) or less.

  • Publication number: 20230182459
    Abstract: Emobidments of a curved glass article are disclosed herein. The curved glass article includes a glass sheet first and second major surfaces. The glass sheet is bent to define a curved region disposed between flat sections. The curved glass article also includes a carrier adhered to the glass sheet. The carrier includes longitudinal strips and lateral strips. The longitudinal strips define the radius of curvature of the curved region. The lateral strips extend between the longitudinal strips. The glass sheet deviates 0.3 mm or less from planar in the flat sections. The longitudinal strips each have a width Wlong of 2 mm or less. The first lateral strips each have a width Wlat of 20 mm or less. At least a portion of the width Wlat of each lateral strip is located in the curved region and a flat section.
