Us Patents

Method Of Forming And Transporting Curved Glass
view source
US Patent:

6904771, Jun 14, 2005
Filed:

Jul 25, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/205065
Inventors:

Frank E. Moulding - South Lyon MI, US
Robert Croft - Plymouth MI, US
Ronald Vandergrift - Mt. Juliet TN, US
Assignee:

Visteon Global Technologies, Inc. - Van Buren Township MI
International Classification:

C03B023/03
US Classification:

65106, 65289, 65291
Abstract:

A glass forming assembly and method for forming complex shaped glass, with the glass forming assembly having a hood assembly including a hood lift superstructure movable horizontally back and forth over a cold ring and a cooling shuttle and movable vertically relative to the cold ring and the cooling shuttle, and a hood frame supported by the hood lift superstructure by a hood tilt mechanism. The hood tilt mechanism includes an air cylinder assembly actuable to tilt the hood frame relative to the hood lift superstructure, which allows for proper orientation of the glass prior to dropping it on the cooling shuttle, thus allowing for reduced glass chipping and cracking.

US Patent:

50690469, Dec 3, 1991
Filed:

Sep 11, 1990
Appl. No.:

7/581346
Inventors:

Frank E. Moulding - Allen Park MI
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

C03B 2303
US Classification:

65106
Abstract:

A ball bearing type roller cylinder assembly is disclosed comprising a center shaft having a free end. The shaft may, for example, be held in a mounting fixture. A spindle concentric with the center shaft is fixed on its free end. A roller cylinder housing the spindle comprises a cylindrical outer skirt, a first end cap which cooperates with a first end surface of the spindle to form a first ball bearing race, and a second end cap which cooperates with the second end of the spindle to form a second ball bearing race. The roller cylinder is freely rotatable and contacts the spindle only indirectly through the ball bearings. Preferred emobodiments of the roller cylinder assembly are suitable for use alone or in sets in high temperature applications, particularly in glass fabrication systems for hot press forming heated sheets of glass.

US Patent:

59066679, May 25, 1999
Filed:

Oct 17, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/731715
Inventors:

Frank Edward Moulding - South Lyon MI
Gerald Post - Allen Park MI
Eugene Stankiewicz - Gibraltar MI
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

C03B 2302
US Classification:

65287
Abstract:

A method sculpturing from sheet material a vacuum formed glass mold. The sheet material is cut into a plurality of sections that are combined into laminated structure is that is welded together and mounted on a mold base. The top surfaces of the individual sections are machined to form a glass forming surface that can be used to vacuum form glass that conforms to the shape of the forming surface.
