Abstract
A cassette for ultra-thin glass includes a pair of plates spaced apart from and facing each other, and a plurality of supports mounted between the pair of plates and including a plurality of mounting grooves that support sides of sheets of ultra-thin glass. Each of the plurality of mounting grooves includes an inclined portion inclined toward a middle of each of the plurality of mounting grooves, and a straight portion extending from the inclined portion and having a constant width in an axial direction of the plurality of supports. A height of the straight portion in a radial direction of the plurality of supports is equal to or greater than a height of the inclined portion in the radial direction.
Claims18
A cassette comprising:
- a pair of plates spaced apart from each other and facing each other;
- and
- a plurality of supports mounted between the pair of plates and comprising a plurality of mounting grooves that support sides of sheets of ultra-thin glass, wherein
- each of the plurality of mounting grooves comprises:
- an inclined portion inclined toward a middle of each of the plurality of mounting grooves;
- and
- a straight portion extending from the inclined portion and having a constant width in an axial direction of the plurality of supports,
- a height of the straight portion in a radial direction of the plurality of supports is equal to or greater than a height of the inclined portion in the radial direction, and
- a ratio of the height of the inclined portion to the height of the straight portion is in a range of about 3/7 to about 1.
A cassette comprising:
- a pair of plates spaced apart from each other and facing each other;
- a first support mounted between the pair of plates and comprising a plurality of first mounting grooves that support first sides of sheets of ultra-thin glass;
- and
- a second support mounted between the pair of plates and comprising a plurality of second mounting grooves that support second sides of the sheets of ultra-thin glass, wherein
- each of the plurality of first mounting grooves comprises:
- a first inclined portion inclined toward a middle of the plurality of first mounting grooves;
- and
- a first straight portion extending from the first inclined portion and having a constant width in an axial direction of the first support,
- the plurality of second mounting grooves and the plurality of first mounting grooves have different shapes or dimensions,
- the first sides are lower sides of the sheets of ultra-thin glass,
- the second sides are sides of the sheets of ultra-thin glass extending in a vertical direction,
- each of the plurality of second mounting grooves comprises:
- a second inclined portion inclined toward a middle of the plurality of second mounting grooves;
- and
- a second straight portion extending from the second inclined portion and having a constant width in an axial direction of the second support, and
- a height of the second straight portion in a radial direction of the second support is less than a height of the first straight portion in a radial direction of the first support.
