  • Publication number: 20020121111
    Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a glass panel and the glass panel manufactured by the method, which makes it possible to minimize the projection amount from the glass sheet surface for improved appearance and for reduced possibility of breaking-up of the depressurized condition resulting from contact with an object and also to reliably seal the vent with a relatively easy step. A number of spacers (2) are disposed between a pair of glass sheets (1A, 1B). Outer peripheries of the glass sheets (1A, 1B) are sealed with an outer periphery sealing portion (3) to form a gap (V) between the glass sheets (1A, 1B). A vent (4) is formed in one (1A) of the glass sheets (1A, 1B) for evacuating gas from the gap (V). The gas in the gap (V) is evacuated via the vent (4) to depressurize the gap (V), and then the vent (4) is sealed. A metal solder (6) is employed as a sealing material for sealing the vent (4).

  • Patent number: 6363753
    Abstract: A roll-forming unit of a curved glass manufacturing apparatus includes a cooperating pair of upper and lower forming roll mechanisms. Each mechanism includes a forming roll having a resilient rod covered with a cover member except opposite end portions thereof, a pair of support members rotatably supporting the opposite end portions of the resilient rod while allowing the resilient rod to tilt about said support members, a bending unit coupled with at least one of the opposite end portions of the resilient rod for applying to the one end portion an external force tending to flex the forming roll into either an upwardly arched configuration or a downwardly arched configuration, and at least one backup roller unit being in rolling engagement with the forming roll to maintain the arched configuration of the forming roll.
