Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods apply a layer of material to a glass sheet having a non-planar shape. The methods can each include the step of providing the glass sheet having an initial non-planar shape including a thickness defined between a first sheet surface and a second sheet surface. The method further includes the step of at least partially flattening the glass sheet into an application shape. The method further includes the step of applying the layer of material to the first sheet surface while the glass sheet is in the application shape. The method then includes the step of releasing the glass sheet to relax into a post non-planar shape.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of applying a layer of material to a glass sheet having a non-planar shape comprising the steps of: (I) providing the glass sheet having an initial non-planar shape including a thickness defined between a first sheet surface and a second sheet surface and providing a vacuum plate with a shaping surface and a seal circumscribing the shaping surface and defining a vacuum pocket; (II) vacuum forming the glass sheet against the shaping surface of the…
