AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional glass molded bodies require significant platinum usage for support, leading to high assembly weight and cost, and suffer from stress concentrations due to biased platinum supports, necessitating high force application, which reduces lifespan.
Method used
The design incorporates non-integral rims and obliquely inclined support surfaces to distribute force uniformly, reducing platinum usage and stress concentrations, and eliminates pier sheets to minimize machining.
Benefits of technology
This design reduces platinum usage by 2 kg or more, lowers manufacturing costs, and extends the lifespan of glass molded bodies by distributing stress uniformly, without compromising quality.

Abstract
A glass molded body assembly is provided. The glass molded body assembly comprises a glass molded body extending from a first end to a second end. The glass molded body comprises a first side and a second side extending between the first and second ends. The bottom portions of the first side and the second side are angled and converge at the root of the glass molded body. The glass molded body assembly also comprises a first pier block and a second pier block. The first pier block is configured to be biased against a first contact surface of the glass molded body. In addition, the second pier block is configured to be biased against a second contact surface of the glass molded body. Both the first and second contact surfaces are planar and both are angled with respect to the root.
