  • Method for finishing edges of glass sheets
    Publication number: 20020037686
    Abstract: A method for edge finishing glass sheets. Glass sheets are separated into desired sizes, after which the edges of the glass sheets are finished using first grinding wheels to grind the edges, followed by polishing wheels to round off the ground edges by contacting and moving the edges of the glass sheet against stationary rotating grinding and polishing wheels which are each oriented approximately parallel to the major surface of the glass sheet.

  • Method for bonding different members and composite members bonded by the method
    Patent number: 6348273
    Abstract: A bonding method for bonding one member having a dented portion and a second different member having an engaging protruding portion with an adhesive composition having a controlled coefficient of expansion and the resultant composite product. Three alternative techniques are used to first apply a hard solder in contact with a layer of fine particles between the two members. Then a final heating is applied under pressure to melt the hard solder. The resulting bonding layer bonds the two different fitting members.

  • Method for edge finishing glass sheets
    Patent number: 5868603
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for edge finishing glass sheets, wherein a polymer film is deposited onto the major surface of the glass sheet. The polymer film is contacted, perforated, or cut using a water jet and the edges of the sheet are then ground or polished The polymer film is cut or perforated in a manner which facilitates against loading of the grinding or polishing device employed.
