Patent number: 4282021Abstract: The instant invention is related to the manufacture of photochromic glasses having base compositions within a very narrow interval of the alkali metal boroaluminosilicate system wherein silver chloride and/or silver bromide crystals impart photochromic properties. The glasses are notable for their rapid fading characteristics and relatively low temperature dependence of darkening. The compositions are especially suitable for a production process which contemplates simultaneously shaping articles from glass sheet and developing photochromic properties therein.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1979Date of Patent: August 4, 1981Assignee: Corning Glass WorksInventors: Jean P. Mazeau, Thomas P. Seward, III
