Title: Innovations by Hans-Pieter Siemonsen
Introduction
Hans-Pieter Siemonsen is a notable inventor based in Aachen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of glass processing technology. With a total of two patents to his name, Siemonsen's work focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of glass sheet hardening and curving processes.
Latest Patents
Siemonsen's latest patents include an "Apparatus and process for simultaneous thermic glass sheet hardening." This invention relates to an improved apparatus and process for simultaneous thermic hardening via rapid air cooling of a plurality of glass sheets that are vertically suspended from a conveyor. The apparatus is characterized by two diametrically opposed caissons, each equipped with a plurality of compressed air pipes and a means for evacuating the emitted compressed air.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for curving sheets of glass and the like." In this invention, the sheet to be curved, such as glass at a softening temperature, is advanced on a fixed curved bed formed by a series of curved rods with varying angles of inclination. This design creates an ascending convex bed with an increasing curvature profile, allowing the sheet to be gradually raised and simultaneously curved by sagging of the edges.
