  • Patent number: 10640414
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transportation system for annealing a glass container having a barrel and two extremities, said transportation system including a lath provided with at least two non-metallic inserts, the at least two non-metallic inserts being positioned such that, when a glass container is seated on said transportation system, said glass container is exclusively held by contact between said at least two non-metallic inserts and said barrel in substantially horizontal position which is fixed relative to the lath. The transportation system further includes securing means configured to reversibly firmly secure a clipping portion of said at least two non-metallic inserts into a respective slot of the lath.

  • Patent number: 8472017
    Abstract: A kit having a supporting device for maintaining a transparent article having a longitudinal axis A, a proximal end and a distal end. The supporting device including a proximal holder including a port intended to receive the proximal end of the article, and a distal holder including a receiving part intended to receive the distal end of the article, the port and the receiving part being aligned on the same longitudinal axis B. The supporting device further having a compressor for putting the article under longitudinal compression directed towards a center of the article, when the article is mounted on the supporting device with its longitudinal axis A aligned on the longitudinal axis B, and a polarimeter. The invention also pertains to a method for measuring the stress inside an article made of transparent material.

  • Publication number: 20070022851
    Abstract: A method of cutting a plastic functional film, in particular a protective film, which has been applied to a hard substrate, such as a glass sheet. The film is cut using an ultrasound cutting device having characteristics and parameters selected such that a cut is only made through the thickness of the functional film, leaving the underlying substrate intact.

  • Publication number: 20050084688
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of treating organic pollution on a substrate made of glass, oxide or any other essentially mineral or metallic material, exhibiting a functionality by the fact that it consists of one or more stacked layers and/or by the fact that it exhibits a particular surface morphology. This method is distinguished by the fact that it consists of an electrical treatment, an ozone UV treatment or a flame treatment, optionally followed by a washing operation. The invention also relates to devices for implementing this method, to the application of this method to hydrophilic and/or oleophilic glazing, and to glazing treated by this method and intended for a transport vehicle, for a building, for urban furniture, for an indoor or outdoor decorative element or for domestic electrical appliances.
