Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001515452
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing successive spherical glass articles, in each of which is accommodated a three-dimensional object or figurine, which method comprises the following steps, to be performed in a suitable sequence, of: (a) providing a container with a mass of molten glass, which container comprises a discharge opening through which liquid glass can be delivered; (b) providing thermally resistant figurines; (c) wholly enclosing successively at least one figurine by molten glass; (d) portioning the molten glass before or after step (c) such that molten glass masses are formed, in each of which a figurine is embedded; and (e) modelling these masses to a spherical form by substantially omnidirectional rolling for a time with simultaneous cooling so that the glass solidifies. According to the invention molten glass is fed to the figurine from at least two sides. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an object of glass with at least one three-dimensional figurine enclosed therein, comprising the following steps: introducing an amount of glass having a desired temperature, at which the glass is soft, into a mould cavity; pressing a heated figurine into the glass; pressing the amount of glass with the heated figurine therein substantially to a desired shape.The invention relates to a method of manufacturing successive spherical glass articles, in each of which is accommodated a three-dimensional object or figurine, which method comprises the following steps, to be performed in a suitable sequence, of: (a) providing a container with a mass of molten glass, which container comprises a discharge opening through which liquid glass can be delivered; (b) providing thermally resistant figurines; (c) wholly enclosing successively at least one figurine by molten glass; (d) portioning the molten glass before or after step (c) such that molten glass masses are formed, in each of which a figurine is embedded; and (e) modelling these masses to a spherical form by substantially omnidirectional rolling for a time with simultaneous cooling so that the glass solidifies.
