Abstract
Abstract For use in the manufacture of laminated safety glass, a vacuum bag in which the glass-plastic laminations are bonded together formed of fiber glass cloth having a layer of silicon-rubber applied to the outer surface thereof which seals the interstices between the glass fibers but leaves the interior surface of the bag bare and the individual glass fibers exposed for direct contact with the glass sheets during lamination.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
For use in the manufacture of laminated glass including an assembly composed of two sheets of glass and an interposed layer of thermoplastic material, a flexible vacuum bag for receiving the assembly for lamination, said bag comprising side panels formed of fiber glass cloth, and a coating of silicon-rubber sealant applied to the outer surface only of said panels, wherein the coating of silicon-rubber seals the interstices between the glass fibers but leaves the inner surface of the side panels bare and the individual glass fibers exposed for direct contact with the glass sheets.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
For use in the manufacture of laminated glass including an assembly composed of two sheets of glass and an interposed layer of thermoplastic material, a flexible vacuum bag for receiving the assembly for lamination, said bag comprising side panels formed of fiber glass cloth, and a coating of silicon-rubber sealant applied to the outer surface only of said panels, wherein the coating of silicon-rubber seals the interstices between the glass fibers but leaves the inner surface of the side panels bare and the individual glass fibers exposed for direct contact with the glass sheets.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A silicon-rubber coated flexible fiber glass bag as claimed in claim 1, including means for withdrawing air from said bag as well as from between the laminations of said assembly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A silicon-rubber coated flexible fiber glass bag as claimed in claim 1, in which the bag is adhesively sealed around the edges thereof, and including means located in said bag in surrounding relation to and spaced from said assembly for withdrawing air from said bag as well as from between the laminations of said assembly.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A silicon-rubber coated flexible fiber glass bag as claimed in claim 3, in which said means comprises a tubular member encircling said assembly in spaced relation thereto and having openings therein, and means connecting said tubular member to a source of vacuum.
