Title: Innovations in Glass Forming by Christopher A Hersch
Introduction
Christopher A Hersch is an accomplished inventor based in Perrysburg, OH (US). He holds a total of 4 patents that showcase his expertise in the field of glass forming technologies. His innovative approaches have significantly contributed to advancements in the manufacturing processes of heated glass sheets.
Latest Patents
Hersch's latest patents include an "Apparatus for vacuum impulse forming of heated glass sheets." This invention discloses a vacuum mold that features a full surface against which a peripheral mold presses the glass sheet periphery. The apparatus includes at least one vacuum reservoir that communicates within the interior of the sealed glass sheet periphery, allowing the glass sheet to be shaped according to the vacuum mold surface. The valving of the vacuum system is designed to provide a vacuum impulse in two stages, starting with an initial limited extent of vacuum followed by a greater extent of vacuum through communication with multiple vacuum reservoirs. Different embodiments of the vacuum mold can face upwardly or downwardly, featuring convex and concave shapes. This technology effectively allows for the creation of glass sheet shapes that include straight line elements, cylindrical and conical bends, as well as curvatures in transverse directions and inverse curvatures.
