Abstract
A glass article layer is provided that includes at least two cylindrical glass articles arranged side by side in an x-direction and extending in a z-direction. Spacers are arranged between the cylindrical glass articles. The spacers are provided at least at two spaced apart spacer positions in the z-direction longitudinally of the cylindrical glass article. The spacers are thread-like elements and at least one thread-like element is provided at each position.

A glass article layer comprising:
- two glass articles arranged side by side in an x-direction and extending in a z-direction;
- and
- spacers disposed between the two glass articles, the spacers being provided at two spaced-apart spacer positions in the z-direction longitudinally of the two glass articles, wherein the spacers are thread-like elements, and wherein only one thread-like element is provided at each of the two spaced-apart spacer positions without completely encircling an outer circumference of the two glass articles and contacts 40% to 80% of the outer circumference of both of the two glass articles.
A glass article layer comprising:
- two glass articles arranged side by side in an x-direction and extending in a z-direction;
- and
- spacers disposed between the two glass articles, the spacers being provided at two spaced-apart spacer positions in the z-direction longitudinally of the two glass articles, wherein the spacers are thread-like elements, and wherein at least one of the thread-like elements is provided at each of the two spaced-apart spacer positions, wherein one thread-like element is provided at each of the two spaced-apart spacer positions, and wherein, at each of the two spaced-apart spacer positions, the thread-like element is arranged such that the thread-like element is wrapped around the two glass articles along an equal outer circumferential area thereby forming wraps, and a loop is provided between the two glass articles.
A glass article layer comprising:
- two glass articles arranged side by side in an x-direction and extending in a z-direction;
- and
- spacers disposed between the two glass articles, the spacers being provided at two spaced-apart spacer positions in the z-direction longitudinally of the two glass articles, wherein the spacers are thread-like elements, and wherein one thread-like element is provided at each of the two spaced-apart spacer positions, and wherein each of the thread-like elements has a first end and a second end, wherein each of the first and second ends is connected to a last wrap through a connecting section.
A glass article layer comprising:
- two glass articles arranged side by side in an x-direction and extending in a z-direction;
- a first thread-like element at a first position in the z-direction, the first thread-like element is a first continuous element that is positioned between the two glass articles at the first position without completely encircling an outer circumference of the two glass articles;
- and
- a second thread-like element at a second position in the z-direction, the second position being spaced in the z-direction from the first position, the second thread-like element is a second continuous element that is positioned between the two glass articles at the second position without completely encircling the outer circumference of the two glass articles,
- wherein the first and second thread-like elements contact 40% to 80% of the outer circumference of each of the two glass articles;
- and
- wherein the first thread-like element is an only thread-like element at the first position and the second thread-like element is an only thread-like element at the second position.
