Abstract
A glass treatment apparatus comprises an upstream applicator comprising a first surface. The first surface is movable between a first upstream position where the first surface is within a travel path of the glass treatment apparatus while extending across a travel direction of the travel path and facing a downstream direction opposite the travel direction, and a second upstream position where the first surface is outside the travel path. Additionally, methods of treating a glass ribbon with the glass treatment apparatus are disclosed.
