Patent ID: 8287988

Claim:
A powder-coated glass product including a glass substrate exhibiting thermal-stress relief, wherein the glass substrate comprises a back surface and a side surface, the back surface of the glass substrate being coated by a coating of a thermosetting powder and a metal foil is bonded to the coating of the thermosetting powder to relieve thermal stress in the glass substrate, the metal foil extending inwardly across the coating of the thermosetting powder from the side surface of the glass substrate, wherein the metal foil extends inwardly across the coating of the thermosetting powder from the side surface of the glass substrate by a distance within a range of 100-150 mm for reduction of thermal stress in the glass substrate, the metal foil is further bonded to the side surface and a front surface of the glass substrate, the metal foil extending across the front surface of the glass substrate from the side surface of the glass substrate by a distance of 6 mm or less.
