摘要
A method of toughening moulded glass articles having a main panel portion and a peripheral flange surrounding said portion, comprising heating the glass article to a temperature above the strain point of the glass and then subjecting both surfaces of the main panel portion to a chilling action, is characterized in that one surface of the panel portion is more strongly chilled than the other surface whereby, for a given general degree of toughening, the impact resistance of the said one surface of the panel portion is enhanced. One article toughened by this method is an implosion guard of toughened transparent glass for use in a television tube assembly, which has a main panel portion of a tray formation 2 (Fig. 1, not shown) which has a double curvature (convex-concave) matching the end formation of the tube, and a boundary wall 3 adapted to surround the end of the tube and forming a peripheral flange. The guard 1 is placed on a rotary frame 5 (Fig. 2, not shown) which supports the guard between an upper set of blowing nozzles 8 forming the concave surface and a lower set 9. A set of nozzles 9a face the corners of the guard. The distance from the guard of the nozzles 8 and 9a is about half the distance from the guard of nozzles 9. This method of toughening puts the line of maximum tension at a distance of about 40% of the thickness of the glass from the convex surface, see Fig. 4 (not shown). The concave surface therefore has enhanced ability to withstand impact of flying fragments from an imploded tube, and the convex surface is more able to withstand bending pressures. The method is also described with reference to other articles.
