Abstract
A method of integrally bonding a glass element to a support element, the method comprising a step of inserting at least one contact element into a contact recess in a surface of the support element. In addition, the method comprises a step of placing the glass element on a portion of the contact element which portion protrudes beyond the surface, and a step of locally heating the contact element in order to connect the glass element to the carrier element via the contact element. The method also comprises a step of coating at least a part of the contact recess with a separating layer prior to the step of insertion.
Claims14
A method of integrally bonding a glass element to a carrier element, the method comprising:
- inserting at least one contact element into a contact recess in a surface of the carrier element;
- heating the at least one contact element to connect the at least one contact element to the carrier element, wherein the step of heating is performed after the step of insertion, and wherein in the step of heating a portion of the at least one contact element protruding above the surface is widened as a collar and/or formed as a rounded cap protruding in the direction of the glass plate normal;
- placing the glass element on a portion of the at least one contact element protruding above the surface;
- local heating of the at least one contact element in order to connect the glass element to the carrier element via the at least one contact element;
- and
- coating at least a part of the contact recess with a separating layer prior to the step of insertion.
A method of integrally bonding a glass element to a carrier element, the method comprising:
- inserting at least one contact element into a contact recess in a surface of the carrier element, wherein the at least one contact element comprises at least one glass dowel;
- heating the at least one contact element to connect the at least one contact element to the carrier element;
- reducing a thickness of a portion of the at least one contact element protruding above the surface of the carrier element for leveling a surface of the portion;
- placing the glass element on the portion of the at least one contact element above the surface of the reduced portion;
- local heating of the at least one contact element in order to connect the glass element to the carrier element via the at least one contact element;
- and
- coating at least a part of the contact recess with a separating layer prior to the step of insertion.
A method of integrally bonding a glass element to a carrier element, the method comprising:
- inserting at least one contact element into a contact recess in a surface of the carrier element, wherein the at least one contact element comprises at least one glass dowel;
- heating the at least one contact element using a reactive welding process to connect the at least one contact element to the carrier element;
- placing the glass element on a portion of the at least one contact element protruding above the surface;
- local heating of the at least one contact element in order to connect the glass element to the carrier element via the at least one contact element;
- and
- coating at least a part of the contact recess with a separating layer prior to the step of insertion.
