Abstract
The principles and embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to complexly curved glass articles and methods of cold forming complexly curved glass articles, such as complexly curved glass articles having a first bend region with a set of first bend line segments, and a second bend region with a set of second bend line segments, wherein the first bend line segments and the second bend line segments are independent, are not parallel, and do not intersect.
Claims26
A glass article comprising a cold-formed, complexly-curved continuous glass sheet having a first bend in a first portion of the sheet defining a first bend region and having a set of first bend line segments, and a second bend in a second portion of the sheet defining a second bend region and having a set of second bend line segments, wherein the first bend line segments and the second bend line segments are independent, are not parallel, and do not intersect.
