Abstract
Described herein is a glass article comprising a support structure comprising a support surface, a glass substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface, and an adhesive bead disposed between the support surface and the second major surface. The adhesive bead comprises a plurality of outer surfaces extending between the support structure and the glass substrate, the plurality of outer surfaces extends at first angles relative to the second major surface at first edges thereof that are most proximate to the glass substrate, and each of the first angles is greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 60°.
Claims22
A glass article, comprising:
- a support structure comprising a support surface;
- a glass substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface, the second major surface being opposite to the first major surface;
- and
- an adhesive bead disposed between the support surface and the second major surface,
- wherein:
- the adhesive bead comprises a plurality of outer surfaces extending between the support structure and the glass substrate,
- the plurality of outer surfaces extends at first angles relative to the second major surface at first edges thereof that are most proximate to the glass substrate, and
- each of the first angles is greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 60°.
A glass article, comprising:
- a support structure comprising a curved support surface that is curved at a radius of curvature that is greater than or equal to 75 mm and less than or equal to 10,000 mm;
- a glass substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface, the second major surface being opposite to the first major surface;
- and
- an adhesive bead disposed between the curved support surface and the second major surface and retaining the glass substrate in a curved shape on the curved support surface,
- wherein:
- the glass substrate is cold-formed such that a stress is present in the adhesive bead,
- the adhesive bead comprises a plurality of outer surfaces extending between the support structure and the glass substrate,
- the plurality of outer surfaces extends at first angles relative to the second major surface at first edges thereof that are most proximate to the glass substrate, and
- each of the first angles is greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 60° such that a position in the adhesive bead where the stress is at a maximum value is displaced from an interface between the glass substrate and the adhesive bead.
