Patent number: 10358386Abstract: Methods of forming a sheet glass product comprising a plurality of growth-limited glass bump spacers. According to the methods, a glass pane of the sheet glass product is irradiated with laser radiation to locally heat the glass pane at a plurality of spacer localities and induce growth of a plurality of glass bump spacers in the glass pane. The growth of the plurality of glass bump spacers is limited by utilizing a growth-limiting plate comprising a scattering surface portion. The scattering surface portion of the growth-limiting plate mitigates damage to the growth-limiting plate and may also mitigate damage to the glass pane. Vacuum insulated glass products and systems for forming a growth-limited sheet glass product are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Richard Robert Grzybowski, Daniel Ralph Harvey, Alexander Mikhailovich Streltsov

Patent number: 8955358Abstract: Vacuum-insulated glass (VIG) windows (10) that employ glass-bump spacers (50) and two or more glass panes (20) are disclosed. The glass-bump spacers are formed in the surface (24) of one of the glass panes (20) and consist of the glass material from the body portion (23) of the glass pane. Thus, the glass-bump spacers are integrally formed in the glass pane, as opposed to being discrete spacer elements that need to be added and fixed to the glass pane. Methods of forming VIG windows are also disclosed. The methods include forming the glass-bump spacers by irradiating a glass pane with a focused beam (112F) from a laser (110). Heating effects in the glass cause the glass to locally expand, thereby forming a glass-bump spacer. The process is repeated at different locations in the glass pane to form an array of glass-bump spacers. A second glass pane is brought into contact with the glass-bump spacers, and the edges (28F, 28B) sealed.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Richard Robert Grzybowski, Daniel Ralph Harvey, Stephan Lvovich Logunov, Daniel Louis Gabriel Ricoult, Alexander Mikhailovich Streltsov

Publication number: 20140186557Abstract: Vacuum-insulated glass windows include two or more glass panes, and glass-bump spacers formed in a surface of one of the panes. The glass-bump spacers consist of the glass material from the body portion of the glass pane. At least one of the glass panes comprises chemically-strengthened glass. Methods of forming VIG windows include forming the glass-bump spacers by irradiating a glass pane with a focused beam from a laser. Heating effects in the glass cause the glass to locally expand, thereby forming a glass-bump spacer. In embodiments where the glass-bump spacers are formed in a chemically-strengthened glass pane, the glass-bump spacers may be formed before or after the chemical strengthening. A second glass pane is brought into contact with the glass-bump spacers, and the edges sealed. The resulting sealed interior region is evacuated to a pressure of less than one atmosphere.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2014Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Richard Robert Grzybowski, Michael S.

Patent number: 8616023Abstract: Raised features are formed on a transparent substrate having absorption of less than about 20% within a processing wavelength range. A portion of the substrate is irradiated with a light beam to increase the absorption of the irradiated portion of the substrate. Continued irradiation causes local heating and expansion of the substrate so as to form a raised feature on the substrate surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Richard Robert Grzybowski, Stephan Lvovich Logunov, Alexander Mikhailovich Streltsov
