Abstract: The present invention is related to a monolithic float glass forming chamber and its method of construction. The forming chamber being of the type that includes a bottom wall; side walls and a roof wall to form an elongated chamber, the elongated chamber including a forming section and a cooling section for a desired thickness and ribbon width of molten glass, wherein each type of wall comprises: a first refractory structure with a mixture of a castable and pumpable refractory material and an insulation material; and a second refractory structure with a castable and pumpable refractory material, the first and second refractory structures being formed at the same construction site.

Abstract: A corner element for use in forming a package of glass sheets comprises two corner pieces, each of which includes a first and a second planar arm, said first and second planar arms forming a right angle. The first and second arms are each formed with a planar projection extending at right angles from each arm, each planar projection being attached on the first and second arms in a position different with respect to each other so that when the two pieces are interfit with each other, the planar projections of one corner piece and the planar projections of the other piece form a protective enclosure around each one the corners of the sheet glass package. A post extending horizontally outwardly from one of the planar projections of each corner element is used to lift the glass sheet package to be transported.
