The device includes a mechanism exerting mechanical tension in a region of the wire that lies between the rotary coil of wire stock and the presser, and a wire-guiding device provided in the region. The wire-guiding device includes a tensioning device that acts directly on the wire taken off the coil of wire stock. That makes it possible effectively and appreciably to compensate for changes in relative speeds at which the wire and the sheet progress. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090202817 | METHOD FOR DEPOSITING A HYDROPHOBIC/OLELPYHOBIC LINING USING ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA WITH IMPROVED DURABILITY - The invention relates to a method for synthesizing a hydrophobic/oleophobic coating on a glass, ceramic or glass-ceramic substrate, preferably glass substrate, by bringing said substrate into contact with a mixture of an excited gas originating from a device generating an atmospheric pressure plasma and of a gas containing at least one fluoro compound, said method being characterized in that a sublayer, the thickness of which is between 1 and 100 nm, is first deposited on said substrate. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090199595 | DEVICE FOR GRAVITY-BENDING GLASS ON SEVERAL SUPPORT MOULDS WITH CONTROLLED TRANSITION BETWEEN MOULDS - A device for gravity bending of at least one glass sheet supported by at least one support forming part of a bending assembly, plural supports supporting the sheet during bending. The device includes a drive system for changing the shape of the support, the drive system controlling the rate of the change. A method of bending glass sheets utilizes the device. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090197215 | HEATING OBJECTS ON A LINE-PRODUCTION OVEN - A device for heating objects and a method that has recourse to the device, particularly for heating and/or bending one or more glass panes positioned one on top of the other, covering each other. The device includes a furnace line, plural supports, particularly transport molds that transport and/or bend the objects, the objects being placed on the supports positioned on transport carriages, a drive device that progresses the transport carriages through the furnace line and plural heating elements provided above the objects in the furnace line. In the device the heating elements are positioned on the whole above the entire furnace line and the heating elements can be operated and regulated so as to form heating zones suited to dimensions of the objects. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090197077 | SUBSTRATE COMPRISING A STACK HAVING THERMAL PROPERTIES - The invention relates to a substrate ( | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090186213 | LOW EMISSIVITY (LOW-E) THIN COATING STACKS WITH INTERMEDIATE ANTIDIFFUSION LAYERS - In a heat-resistant low-emissivity (low-E) multilayer system that includes a silver layer as functional layer, for transparent substrates, in particular for window panes, which has, between the surface of the substrate and the silver layer, a high-refringence layer, in particular made of TiO | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090179547 | FLAT UV LAMP WITH COPLANAR DISCHARGE AND USES THEREOF - A flat lamp transmitting radiation in UV (ultraviolet), including first and second flat or substantially flat glass elements substantially parallel to each other and defining an internal space filled with gas capable of emitting the radiation in the UV or of exciting a phosphor material possibly present and emitting the radiation in the UV. The phosphor material can be deposited on one face of the first and/or second glass element, the first and/or second glass element being made of a material transmitting the UV radiation. A plurality of pairs of electrodes are capable of being at different potentials and of being supplied by an AC voltage, the pairs associated with the first glass element and placed outside the internal space, the electrodes being in a form of bands and/or wires in the first glass element or in another dielectric element associated with the first glass element. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090176639 | Method and furnace with series-arranged baths for producing glass frits - The invention relates to a furnace for continuously melting a silica-containing compound comprising at least two series-arranged baths each of which is provided with at least one burner submerged into molten material. Said invention also relates to a method for producing silica-containing compounds, the silica and the melt thereof being loaded into the first bath. The invention is intentionally adapted for the high performance production of frits for re-enameling ceramic products (sandstone, faience and burnt clay) at low temperatures and a fast transition time. | 07-09-2009 |
