Embodiment 1

[0081] Example 1. The glass handling apparatus may include a first suction device positioned to receive one or more of a first protective layer or a second protective layer, the first protective layer from the first glass ribbon, the The second protective layer is from one or more of the first glass ribbon or the second glass ribbon. The second protective layer is different from the first protective layer. The glass handling apparatus may include a turning apparatus positioned to receive the first protective layer and the second protective layer. The steering device is movable to direct the first protective layer along the first path of travel and to direct the second protective layer along the second path of travel. The glass processing apparatus may include a first processing apparatus positioned to receive the first protective layer from the diverting apparatus and to generate a first processing product from the first protective layer. The glass processing apparatus may ...

Abstract

A glass processing apparatus can comprise a first suction device positioned to receive one or more of a first protective layer or a second protective layer. The glass processing apparatus can further comprise a diverting apparatus positioned to receive the first and second protective layer. The diverting apparatus may be movable to direct the first protective layer along a first travel path and the second protective layer along a second travel path. The glass processing apparatus can further comprise a first processing apparatus positioned to receive the first protective layer and produce a first processed product from the first protective layer. The glass processing apparatus can also comprise a second processing apparatus positioned to receive the second protective layer and produce a second processed product different from the first processed product, from the second protective layer. In some embodiments, methods for processing glass with a glass processing apparatus are disclosed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 776,164, filed December 6, 2018, the contents of which are relied upon and incorporated by reference in its entirety as if detailed below. elaborate. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to methods for processing glass, and more particularly to methods of processing glass using glass processing apparatus including one or more suction devices. Background technique [0004] It is known to collect and dispose of protective layers that protect the major surfaces of glass ribbons. One method of collecting layers of protection involves manual collection. However, depending on the type of material of the protective layer, different collection methods have been implemented. Using different collection methods can be costly and inefficient, some of which include manual collection of protective layers. C...
