Apparatus for inhibiting glass breakage and glass products incorporating such apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for inhibiting glass breakage includes a housing having a contact end with an aperture, a contact member disposed at least primarily inside the housing, and a biasing member. The biasing member biases the contact member toward the housing aperture. In another embodiment, a glass product includes a sheet of glass and an apparatus for inhibiting glass breakage. The apparatus for inhibiting glass breakage includes: (a) a housing having a contact end with an aperture; (b) a contact member disposed at least primarily inside the housing; and (c) a biasing member biasing the contact member toward the housing aperture. The housing contact end is coupled to the sheet of glass, and the contact member rests upon the sheet of glass for receiving an impact force from the sheet of glass. |
