METHOD FOR SCRIBING TEMPERED GLASS SHEET

摘要

When forming a scribe line along a preset cutting line serving as a boundary between an effective surface portion and a non-effective surface portion, a preparatory scribe line to be smoothly joined to the preset cutting line while being curved from the non-effective surface portion to the preset cutting line is formed using a scribing wheel, and then the scribe line that continues from the preparatory scribe line is formed using the scribing wheel. Further, an auxiliary scribe line extending toward the scribe line with the non-effective surface portion being a starting end of the auxiliary scribe line, and having a terminal end prevented from being joined to the scribe line is formed with use of the scribing wheel.

1. A method of scribing a tempered glass sheet, which involves moving a rotary scribing blade along a preset cutting line having a closed-loop shape and serving as a boundary between an effective surface portion having an outer peripheral profile including a curved line and a non-effective surface portion surrounding the effective surface portion, to thereby form a scribe line for cutting the tempered glass sheet into the effective surface portion and the non-effective surface portion,
the method comprising:
forming a preparatory scribe line to be smoothly joined to the preset cutting line while being curved from the non-effective surface portion to the preset cutting line with use of the rotary scribing blade; andforming, after forming the preparatory scribe line, the scribe line that continues from the preparatory scribe line with use of the rotary scribing blade.
