This invention relates to a novel method and apparatus for beveling an inside edge of a glass article and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for beveling the inside seal edge of a glass funnel or faceplate for a cathode-ray tube.
A cathode-ray tube, such as a color television picture tube, comprises an evacuated glass envelope which includes a funnel, having a substantially rectangular opening at one end and a tubular neck at the other end, and a faceplate panel that is sealed to the one end of the funnel by a frit seal. It is common practice to bevel the sharp inside edges of the sealing surfaces of the funnel and panel to prevent chipping or bruise checking which can cause either particles within the tube or a failure of the evacuated tube.
U.S Pat. No. 3,550,322, issued to Rajnik et al. on Dec. 29, 1970, discloses an edge beveler which permits power grinding of the inside and outside seal edges of the funnel and faceplate panel. The edge beveler includes a vertical rotatable shaft having a plate member at the upper end thereof which has a peripheral shape generally corresponding to that defined by the seal edge of the article to be beveled. The plate member is smaller than the inner border of the seal edge and is located within the article. A plurality of rollers support the seal edge of the article while it is rotated by the vertical shaft. A pair of motor driven grinding wheels contact, at an angle, the inner and outer borders of the sealing edge of the article.
A drawback of the above-described edge beveler is that the sides of the substantially rectangular funnel and panel have very large radii of curvature whereas the curvature of the corners is small and it is therefore difficult to obtain a uniform bevel around the entire periphery of the seal edge. Additionally, the diameter of the grinding wheels must be small enough to accommodate the corners of the funnel and panel so the grinding wheels must be replaced frequently. Also, the same area on each of the grinding wheels contacts the borders of the seal edge further accelerating wear of the grinding wheels.
A need therefore exists for a method and apparatus of beveling an edge which minimizes the drawbacks of the prior art.
A method for uniformly beveling an inside edge of a glass article having an opening at one end thereof includes the steps of: providing a plate having a peripheral shape generally corresponding to that defined by the edge of the glass article, the plate having a beveled edge containing an abrasive material; supporting the glass article so that its inside edge is in proximity to the beveled edge of the plate; and establishing contact between the glass article and the abrasive material. An orbital, undulatory motion is induced between the bevel plate and the glass article to abrade at least a portion of the inside edge of the glass article.
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of the novel method.
FIG. 2 is a plan view, partially in axial section, of one of a novel apparatus according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of the apparatus of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of another portion of apparatus of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a plan view, partially in axial section, of a second embodiment of the novel apparatus.
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of the novel method. The novel method applies to beveling the inside seal edge of a glass article having an opening at one end thereof, such as the funnel or the faceplate panel of a color-television picture tube. Unlike prior methods which utilize grinding wheels, the present method utilizes a plate having a beveled edge which contains a suitable abrasive material that contacts and abrades the inside portion of the seal edge. The glass article is supported in proximity to the beveled edge of the plate and contact is established therebetween. An orbital, undulatory motion between the plate and the glass article is induced and causes the abrasive material to abrade the inside edge of the glass article to produce a uniform bevel.
The method is performed by the apparatus shown in FIGS. 2-5. Similar reference characters refer to similar parts in each of the figures of the drawings.
Referring to FIGS. 2-4, the novel apparatus comprises a vertical column assembly 10 having an outer housing 12 which is supported on a base 14. A primary rotatable shaft 16 is disposed within the housing 12 and is attached at one end to a first plate assembly 18 and at the other end to a motor 20. The first plate assembly 18 includes a wobble plate 22 having a first major surface 24 and an oppositely disposed second major surface 26. The first major surface 24 is inclined at an acute angle of about 1� relative to the second major surface 26. A bearing assembly 28 rests on the first major surface 24 of the wobble plate 22. The bearing assembly comprises a first annular bearing race 30 and a second annular bearing race 32 spaced from the first bearing race by a bearing retainer 34 having a plurality of ball bearings 36 located therein. The first annular bearing race 30 has a contact surface 38 which acts as a wear plate for a plurality of wobble pins 40 each of which is disposed within a separate bronze bushing 42 extending through a top cap 44 of the outer housing 12. Preferably, six wobble pins 40 are radially disposed around the top cap at intervals of about 60�.
The primary shaft 16 is mounted within a cartridge 46 which is slideably disposed within the outer housing 12. A pivot point 48, is affixed to the lower surface of the cartridge 46 and provides a means for raising and lowering the primary shaft. The cartridge 46 and the primary shaft 16 are shown in the lowered position in FIG. 3.
Again with reference to FIG. 3, a secondary rotatable shaft 50 is disposed between the first plate assembly 18 and a second plate assembly 52 (shown in FIGS. 2 and 4). The secondary shaft 50 has a distal end 54 and a proximal end 56 which is disposed on the wobble plate 22 and, thus, in communication with the primary shaft 16. The primary shaft 16 and the secondary shaft 50 are coaxial, i.e., each has a common longitudinal axis A--A aligned along the longitudinal axis of the column assembly 10. The distal end 54 of the secondary 50 fits within a keyway 58 formed within a top bearing 60 centrally located within the top cap 44. A cam 62 is attached to a top surface 64 of the bearing 60 so that the movement of the cam is eccentric or orbital relative to the rotation of the secondary shaft 50, i.e., the longitudinal axis, B--B', of the cam 62 is laterally displaced relative to the longitudinal axis, A--A', of the primary shaft 16 and the secondary shaft 50. An eccentric hub 66 circumscribes the cam 62.
The second plate assembly 52 includes a bevel plate 68 having a first major surface 70 and an oppositely disposed second major surface 72. The bevel plate is substantially rectangular and generally corresponds to that defined by a seal edge 74 of a glass article, such as a funnel, 76 shown in phantom in FIGS. 2 and 4. The first major surface 70 of the bevel plate 68 has dimensions smaller than those of the seal edge 74 of the funnel and the second major surface 72 has dimensions that are larger than the seal edge. A beveled edge 78 is contiguous with the first major surface 70 and provides a support for an abrasive material 80. Preferably, the abrasive material is a diamond lap material attached to a resilient backing which is attached to the beveled edge 78 by a suitable adhesive and/or retained thereagainst by a top retainer 82 and an edge retainer 84. A centrally disposed bevel plate aperture 86 is formed through the bevel plate. An annular bevel plate support 88 is affixed to the second major surface 72 of the bevel plate 68. The bevel plate support 88 has a central aperture 90 circumscribed by a rim 92 which surrounds the eccentric hub 66 on the cam 62. A plurality of openings 94, for example six openings, are formed through the body of the bevel plate support 88 to accommodate a plurality of standoffs 96 which extend from the top cap 44 to a vacuum chuck assembly 98 which supports and aligns the funnel 76 so as to locate it against the bevel plate 68. A spring plate 100 is disposed in spaced relation to the top of the bevel plate support 88 with an upper slide plate 102 disposed therebetween. A wear plate 104 is disposed in spaced relation to the bottom of the bevel plate support 88 and a lower slide plate 106 is located therebetween. A spacer 108 is disposed in each of the openings 94 between the spring plate 100 and the wear plate 104. A groove 110 is formed in the bottom surface of the wear plate 104 to accommodate the wobble pins 40. A splash ring 112 is attached to the bottom surface of the bevel plate support 88 to prevent the accumulation of debris from the beveling operation on the moving parts of the apparatus.
The vacuum chuck assembly 98 includes a chuck mounting plate 114 to which the standoffs 96 are attached. A spring 116 surrounds at least a portion of each of the stantoffs 96. The springs 116 extend between the spring plate 100 of the second plate assembly 52 and the mounting plate 114. A centrally disposed support 118 having a post 120 projecting from one end there is affixed to the mounting plate 114. A spring retainer 122 encircles the post 120 and is attached thereto. A vacuum seal assembly 124 is connected to the spring retainer 122 by a support spring 126. The vacuum seal assembly 124 includes a seal support cap 128 which encloses a portion of the support 118. An inwardly directed annular guide 130 (preferably made of nylon) slidingly contacts a portion of the support 118 and provides a lower support for the support spring 126. A resilient plug 132 secures a first annular vacuum seal 134 across the throat of the funnel 76. A second annular vacuum seal 136 is spaced from the first seal 134 and closes an intermediate portion of the funnel. A second annular seal support plate 138, having a diameter less than that of the annular seal 134, is attached to the seal support cap 128 and provides a lower support for the annular seal 134. An annular seal retainer plate 140 is spaced from the support plate 138 and connected to the support cap 128, and provides an upper support for the second annular seal 136. A vacuum is established in the volume between the vacuum seals 134, 136 and the funnel 76 by a conventional vacuum line, not shown, which extends through the annular seal support plate 138, the annular seal 134, and the annular seal retainer plate 140. The vacuum holds the funnel 76 during the beveling operation. The support spring 126 provides pressure between the funnel 76 and the abrasive material 80 on the beveled edge 78 of the bevel plate 68.
When the motor 20 is energized to rotate the primary and secondary shafts 16 and 50, the cam 62 within the eccentric hub 66, that is disposed in the central aperture 90 of the bevel plate support 88, causes the second plate assembly 52 to move, orbitally, in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis A--A' of the vertical column assembly 10. When the cartridge 46 is raised by the pivot point 48, the wobble pins 40, resting on the contact surface 38 of the first bearing race 30, are raised to contact the groove 110 of the wear plate 104 attached to the bottom of bevel plate support 88. The bevel plate 68 with its abrasive 80 is thereby brought into contact with the seal edge 74 of the funnel 76. As the wobble plate 22 rotates, the wobble pins 40 move up and down against the wear plate 104 and to provide an undulatory motion to the spring-biased second, or bevel, plate assembly 52. The resulting orbital, oscillatory motion between the abrasive material 80 on the edge 78 of the bevel plate 68 and the inside seal edge of the funnel 76 is sufficient to uniformly remove about 0.25 to 0.50 mm of glass to provide a bevel which resists chipping and bruise checking of the glass. Preferably, the bevel is formed at an angle of about 45�. A fluid, such as water, is applied to the abrasive material 80 to remove the grinding debris.
FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention and differs from the prior structure only in that a vacuum chuck assembly is not required since the second embodiment is designed to bevel the inside seal edge of a glass faceplate panel 142, shown in phantom. In this embodiment, the panel 142 is held in contact with the abrasive material 80 of the second plate assembly 52 by an external retainer 144, which is conventional, and may comprise, for example, a vacuum pad or similar support which can be used to pick up and place the workpiece.

Episode 54 Overview
Here's an overview of what we'll be talking about in this episode:
- 1:20 – Who are you? What do you do? How did you get interested in this topic?
- 4:10 – Both sides are really heated and balanced discussions of GMOs are hard to find. What's going on from the pro- and anti- sides of the debate?
- 13:05 – So GMOs aren't helping us use less herbicides and pesticides?
- 16:50 – What are the some common arguments for GMOs that are incorrect?
- 19:30 – What about arguments for Golden Rice and how it will help children get sufficient vitamin A? I've read that a child would have to eat several pounds a day to get enough beta-carotene. Thoughts?
- 23:25 – What are the some common arguments against GMOs that are incorrect? (Includes a brief history of Monsanto and problems with how they operate)
- 28:05 – Who else is involved in this conversation other than Monsanto/Dow/etc and Food Babe/Mercola/Mike Adams? How can people know what information and who to trust?
- 33:35 – Do you think GMOs can be used to help mitigate some of the effects of climate change?
- 39:35 – Do you know of any human health issues with GMOs?
- 45:00 – Do you have any political or ecological conflicts of interests/concerns? For example, legislators and judges who formerly represented GM corporations have been in positions to decide cases or vote on legislation concerning GMOs and/or business practices of the companies?
- 50:35 – Are GMOs partly or wholly to blame for Bee Colony Collapse? What do we need to know?
- 57:15 – Other concerns that are not being talked like land rights, land use, patenting/ownership of the food supply, large-scale land acquisitions and land conflicts at the expense of small-scale food producers and their families.
- 1:01:35 – Is it fair to say that many of the issues GMOs are intended to fix are a result of our farming practices? What are some simple farming solutions that can help us avoid some of the issues?
- 1:05:55 – Bottom line: are GMOs a panacea or a poison?
- 1:06:15 – You recently wrote an article about almond milk with one of the best headlines in the history of the internet. I think it was something like "Lay off the almond milk, you ignorant hipsters." What is the main problem with almond milk and why did people freak out? What was the funniest response you got?

Many Orlandoans would know Farm-Haus as a farm to table Chef service that delivers fresh weeknight dinners to residents all over the city. The company operates out of the popular East End Market. Recently, Farm-Haus decided to offer a pop up brunch at the market, in anticipation of their brick and mortar store, opening soon at East End.
The menu was simple with choices for both meat eaters and Vegetarians.
I opted for the Avocado Toast and it was by far THE BEST AVOCADO TOAST on the planet. Exaggeration? Hardly. Not only was the avocado with charred corn and tomato plentiful and flavorful, the bread was perfectly toasted and crusty. Did I mention it was the best avocado toast I have ever experienced?
I dined with my friend Lisa from Taste Cook Sip joined me for lunch and she ordered the Veggie Bowl topped with an perfectly cooked egg. The bowl was stuffed with veggies, so stuffed it can hardly be eaten in one sitting. And it was also delicious.
We enjoyed our food with the perfect brunch cocktail – a Pear-Mosa from Local Roots. Pear Cider mixed with Champagne.
However, if something non-alcoholic is more your style, try the Local Greens juice from Skyebird.

Colette created a new form, the 'HIMerick'; she sometimes opens her blog Felt-Tip Fountain Pen but just in case you can't get there, here are the rules and some examples from Colette:
Rules for the HIMerick,
a loosely limerick-ish form:
A male should be the subject.
If the subject is female, the poem must have a male chromosome in there somewhere.
It must be very humorous and/or nonsensical.
It must be 6 lines, of any meter.
Lines 1, 2, 4, and 5 must be of shorter meter, and must rhyme with each other.
Lines 3 and 6 should be of longer meter and must rhyme with each other.
It may or may not be titled, at the poet's discretion.
It should make me laugh on the outside.
It must make me laugh on the inside.*
Get HIMerickin'!
Lorena Bobbit
was a hobbit
about 59 inches tall.
If I had a bobbit,
she'd probably rob it,
and then I'd be 2 inches tall!
Colonel Sanders

Twwo bystanders –
reprimanders –
warned against frying his wing.
Isaac Newton
saw Fig Newtons
fall from yonder tree.
Those Fig Newtons
ripped him new ones
in the seam of his theory.
Try your hand at making Colette LOTO and LOTI! Just write a HIMerick and post it here 🙂
All it needs to be is humorous and / or nonsensical
It's fun writing nonsense!

How many payment submissions can I accept with the Free plan?Asked by CzechCentre on March 21, 2017 at 07:33 AM
we have just made an account with you. We are hoping to create a form for our Czech Language Classes.
I have created the form here:I was wondering if we can stay on the free plan - do I understan it correctly that if I am on free plan, I can only recieve 10 payments? Is it 10 payments a months / a year..?
For your information, we would have 1 form, cca 70 entries three times a year - it means we have three terms a year and about 70 students who need to register and pay every term.Many thanksPetra
JotForm Support
Hi Petra, thank you for contacting us.
Yes, the Free plan allows you to accept 10 payment submissions are per month, and this limit is reset at the beginning of each month.
I hope this helps. If you need further assistance please let us know. Thank you.

Gelato Paradiso Reopens In Fashion Island
Anne Marie Panoringan
Coveting a scoop of gianduia from our preferred gelato spot was the only reason we used to frequent Corona del Mar Plaza (Until it was replaced by Sprinkles Ice Cream. Boo!). If we happened to be shopping down the street, even better-- since they also scooped inside Fashion Island's Atrium Court. They closed the mall location a year ago this month, but we never knew why. Now, it all makes sense.
Recently we spotted them while wandering Barnes and Noble. Instead of their previous freestanding spot, Gelato Paradiso is now connected to the perimeter of eateries downstairs.
Flavors mirror their Laguna Beach spot, with seasonal faves peppermint and pumpkin as part of the lineup. Batches are still made fresh daily at both locales, but we like parking here a whole lot more. Welcome back, guys. You've been missed.

I took John and Susan Kezios's picture on the first day of the public hearings that resulted in the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000. Who knows…maybe one day our widows will will talk?
There was one glorious time when the truth about Big Franchising was revealed and recorded.July 25, 2012
March 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Public hearings into the franchise relationship. Four days of traveling public hearings: Toronto, Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa and London. Ontario, Canada. Traveling public hearing: extremely rare, if not unheard of, under the Mike Harris government.
Approved by the former Ontario Minister Robert Runciman over a beer with Tony Martin at the Queen's Park members' bar. Two men who share a love of democracy as expressed in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
- 35 life stories told in 20 minute chunks to the Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bill.
- 4 expert witnesses given 45 minutes (John Sotos lawyer, Susan Kezios franchisee expert, Dr. Gillian K. Hadfield scholar and Richard Cunningham franchisor advocate).
- and me, Les Stewart, franchisee advocate.
I had the tremendous honour of traveling throughout Ontario as before these life stories were twisted into the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000. I seemed to have made an impression on the politicians.
Of the current MPPs (107), I know 29 of them. One Minister since I was 17 years old. 45 minutes from my house to their House.
It happened once.
It can happen again.

Hansard does not record standing ovations.November 6, 2011
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Jim Wilson): Pursuant to standing order 98, the honourable member has 12 minutes for her presentation.
Ms. Helena Jaczek: At the outset I would like to make sure that everyone knows that this bill, Bill 102, An Act to amend the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000, is co-sponsored by my colleague from Parkdale–High Park and my colleague from Parry Sound–Muskoka. I think that this type of collaboration is something our constituents expect of us. We know that in our ridings many people did not actually vote for us or our party and it is our duty to represent them in this House wherever we can. It has been certainly an interesting and very satisfying experience to work with my two colleagues on this particular bill.
I'd also like to recognize in the west members' gallery some supporters of the bill: Les Stewart, the founder of the Canadian Alliance of Franchise Operators, and Detective Fred Kerr, the corporate fraud manager for York Regional Police's major fraud unit.

Tupperware, Les Stewart, CAFO and freedoms, 1January 6, 2011
Franchise freedom of speech and association in Canada, circa 2004.
Two pages of a Record of Motion filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by Michael Shell and Drazen Bulat on behalf of their client, Tupperware Canada Inc. on September 23, 2004.
– and-I voluntarily closed down the "TupperWars" section of CAFO's website in response to this challenge (see context). This happened days after we (for the first time) sent out a series of emails to U.S. franchisees/distributors.
We received zero requests to stop the emails from franchise investors.
Franchise lenders are swillJune 17, 2010
Some systems hardly have any franchisee debt.
This is particularly true of ones that converted employees to franchisees.
That changes once franchisors listen to their bankers explain how much they both can make (ie. interest kickbacks) if they leverage as many franchisees to the teats.
The primary control method of newer (maybe more formally educated?) franchisees is debt. Hundreds of thousands of supportable debt, if the franchisor who controls their gross margins, lets them service their debt.
It's ugly:
- prime plus 5% ("love to give a better rate but it's unsecured, don't you know"),
- immediately callable (demand loan = short leash),
- plus personal guarantees up the wazzo ("just need the missus to okay the paperwork…"), but
- secured by NOTHING but the franchisor"s "good faith" (ok as long as the present management stays put but all deals are off if…).
If you want to unlock the chains, start asking your "preferred" lender some questions (on a public blog, btw) about their lending duty under the Bank Act.
Franchise bankers: a breed apart.
A little more sensitive than you run-of-the-mill doofus franchisor: don't like being fingered for loan pushing, collusion or predatory franchise lending.
- Franchising Opportunism, Les Stewart

We have posted in the past about insurance bad faith. While we certainly don't mean to suggest that every insurance carrier is inherently evil, we want all injured individuals to take a moment to protect themselves.
Insurance policies can be complex and it is easy for policy-holders to get turned around - ultimately, doing themselves more harm than good. As experienced personal injury attorneys, we have seen numerous cases where injured people only try to follow (what they think are) the rules only to damage their cases. Here are three things that people should certainly not do unless they have a clear understanding of the consequences - or they have a skilled lawyer on their side.
- Don't talk to an insurance adjuster: From the moment you make your claim, these people have a dual purpose. They are both on your side and the side of the insurance company. They want to help you proceed through the process while - at the same time - protecting the company's bottom line. Even a simple statement on your part, though, can dramatically impact your claim. Make sure these communications are controlled by your attorney.
- Don't provide a recorded statement: Your insurance adjuster might suggest - or demand - that your statement of events is recorded. It is critical to remember that there is no law that compels you to do so. In all likelihood, you are flustered, frightened and possibly seriously injured after your accident. By working with your lawyer, you can schedule a time to discuss your accident with the insurance company when you are ready.
- Don't sign any documents: Most often an insurance adjuster will ask you to sign documentation allowing them access to your medical records. Unfortunately, this can ultimately damage your claim. We're not saying they will - but an adjuster can potentially dig into your medical history in an effort to blame your current pain on a past injury. Your lawyer will carefully examine any documents given to you and provide clear guidance on what should - and what should not - be signed.
Not all insurance companies are bad - and not all insurance adjusters are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. It is wise, though, when your financial future is at stake, that you take steps to protect yourself and your family.

Earlier this year I tried using a shampoo bar for the first time. I thought it was okay, but didn't reorder when it was used up. When I saw that Tropical Traditions carried a shampoo bar I thought this would be a good opportunity to give shampoo bars a second chance, after all, I have been quite impressed with Tropical Traditions products. I just had a sneaky suspicion that the shampoo bar from Tropical Traditions would live up to their high standards of quality and value.
Not just being a natural way to wash your hair, I love that there is minimal packaging and when I am done with the shampoo there isn't a large non-recyclable bottle to throw in the trash.
I began my shower like any other day by wetting my hair. Using the shampoo bar I started to rub in against my hair...right away it lathered up and I was able to massage my scalp into a full lather with just a little bit. Immediately I noticed a difference, I rinsed my hands after shampooing and they felt clean. I noticed there wasn't any residue from shampoo on my hands, which leads me to think there isn't any residue build up on my hair as well.
My hair felt squeaky clean. I was able to pull my brush easily through my thick, curly hair. After it air dried my hair felt full of body, with lots of natural curls. I didn't feel there was any need to use any styling products afterward. And, there was a fresh, clean scent that lingered throughout the day.
My first go around with a shampoo bar was less than inspiring.
Tropical Traditions once again you have shown me the way!

Research paper.
Defensive Splitting / Clone Reconciliation : Art in the Age of Digital Manipulation
I intend to make digital replication the topic of my final paper. Since digital manipulation in the form of visual and audio replication is a consistent theme in my own practice, I will refer to my own experiences while cross referencing them with some of the articles from the class readings. I'll argue for the erasure of aura by citing Walter Benjamin's Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. My paper will address the psychological benefits of repeating an image in an attempt to build a personal infantry whose actions are productive, predictable and efficient. I will discuss the comfort I find in building imaginary isolated spaces with the means that technology has afforded us. Repetition and replication will be discussed in terms of the video and audio loop. Software makes it possible to produce this digital lullaby, a soothing representation of harmony and order in the midst of the chaotic social environment 'out there' in the physical world. Throughout my paper, I'll suggest that the thinking that supports artistic digital production resembles the numerous pathways of the rhizome. I'll cite Deleuze and Guattari and the ways that this type of thinking can help create new creative problem solving skills without sacrificing content value. The overall tone of my final paper will argue that technology, more specifically digital tools, can assist an artist in producing, through skillful editing and manipulation, that which cannot be explained. Since technology presents us with a void, a blank canvas onto which we can inscribe our thoughts, it allows us to illustrate the deepest parts of our personalities and give them sound and choreography. Through examples of movies like THX-1138, I'll praise the creation of the infinite void by Lucas and his creative team. Through characters like Agent Smith of the Matrix trilogy, I'll explain the use of body replication as a way to strip one of his identity in a world where identity can be a limiting factor. My paper will discuss how we can address trauma and dissociative symptoms by using technological tools that make it easy to build our own army of clones.
