Apparatus and method for control of glass streams in laminate fusion
First Claim
1. A laminated glass sheet forming apparatus, comprising:
- a lower fusion pipe providing a first liquid stream that forms the core of the laminate;
a first upper fusion pipe having a pair of adjustable baffles situated between a bottom of the upper fusion pipe and the top of the lower fusion pipe,the first upper fusion pipe and the pair of adjustable baffles provide a second liquid glass stream onto the first liquid glass stream, the second liquid glass stream forms a clad of the laminate on the core of the laminate,the adjustable baffles being separated from the lower fusion pipe by a gap, and the adjustable baffles control the landing angle (φ
) and drop point of the second liquid glass stream onto the first liquid glass stream.
