Definitions
- This invention relates to glass scoring wheels in general, and to a system for identifying different types of glass scoring wheels in particular.
- Glass scoring wheels do not in fact "cut” the glass.
- the wheel is drawn along a glass substrate to create a crack or “fissure” along which the glass will break when bent.
- the idea is to produce a fissure which is continuous, and of uniform depth, without creating a flaky score line full of loose glass chips.
- the wheel angle, wheel diameter, and cutting pressure are variables which influence the quality of the fissure.
- the wheel angle is the included angle to which the apex is honed; i.e., the wheel angle is measured from one beveled face of the wheel around through the wheel to the other face (See FIG. 1).
- the angle between the wheel and the glass on a 150° wheel will be 15° on each side.
- glass scoring wheels have a small diameter (e.g., less than 12 mm).
- glass scoring wheels typically come in a large range of wheel angles (e.g., 110° - 170°), and finishes (e.g., polished, regular grind, course grind, etc.), and different materials/hardnesses) (e.g., steel, carbide, etc).
- wheel angles e.g., 110° - 170°
- finishes e.g., polished, regular grind, course grind, etc.
- different materials/hardnesses e.g., steel, carbide, etc.

- the packaging system includes a plurality of containers and a plurality of caddies.
- Each container axially extends between an open end and a closed end.
- Each caddy includes a wheel mount shaft extending from a base, which wheel mount shaft is configured to fit in the center aperture of each scoring wheel.
- the wheel mount shaft has an axial length that permits a plurality of glass scoring wheels to be mounted on the mount shaft.
- the base is adapted to mate with the open end of the container and thereby couple the respective caddy to the respective container.
- the caddies include "n" number of different color configuration caddies, where "n" is an integer.
- each of the "n” different color configuration caddies is different than the color configuration of the other of the "n” different color configuration caddies.

- FIGS. 2 and 3 diagrammatically illustrates an embodiment of a component of the present packaging system, which system facilitates storing, handling, and identifying a variety of different scoring wheels 10 similar to the one shown in FIG. 1.
- the component includes a container 26 and a wheel caddy 28.
- the container 26 has an annular cross-sectional geometry that extends from an open end 30 to a closed end 32; e.g., a cylindrical shaped container with a closed end 32 and an open end 30.
- the container 26 can be constructed from, for example, a translucent material such that a user can view the contents of (e.g., quantity of the scoring wheels 10 in) the packaging.
- the wheel caddy 28 includes a base 34 and a wheel mount shaft 36 mounted to the base 34.
- the base 34 has a cross-sectional geometry, configured to mate with the container 26.
- the base 34 axially extends between an exterior end 38 and an interior end 40.
- the interior end 40 of the base 34 may be configured to mate with the container 26 in a male or female configuration; e.g., the interior end 40 may be a male configuration that is received within the open end 30 of the container 26, or may be a female configuration that receives the open end 30 of the container 26.
- the wheel mount shaft 36 has a base end 42 and a distal end 44.
- the base end 42 is attached to the base 34 (e.g., by mechanical attachment, frictional attachment, adhesive, insert molding, etc.) and the shaft 36 extends axially outwardly from the interior end 40 of the base 34, terminating at the distal end 44 of the wheel mount shaft 36.
- the length of the wheel mount shaft 36 can be varied to accommodate different numbers of scoring wheels 10.
- the wheel mount shaft 36 is adapted to selectively maintain the scoring wheels 10 on the shaft 36 until removed by a user; e.g., the shaft 36 may be bent to prevent wheel 10 removal, a stopper may be attached to the distal end 44 of the wheel mount shaft 36, etc.
- the base 34 includes a grip segment 46 extending from the base exterior end 38 to a plug segment 48, which plug segment 48 extends to the base interior end 40.
- the plug segment 48 is configured to be removably received within the open end 30 of the container 26. Once inserted into the open end 30, the plug segment 48 is configured to stay within the container 26 (e.g., a slight interference fit) until removed by the user.
- the base 34 includes a shaft mounting aperture 50 extending between the interior and exterior ends 38, 40.
- the shaft mounting aperture 50 is configured with a larger cross-section proximate the exterior end 38 of the base 34, compared to the cross-section proximate the interior end 40 of the base 34.
- a standard cotter pin may be inserted through the shaft mounting aperture 50, with the head of the cotter pin residing in the larger cross-section of the aperture 50, thereafter serving as the wheel mount shaft 36.
- the opposite end of the cotter pin can be deflected to maintain wheels 10 on the wheel mount shaft 36.
- the packaging system includes a plurality of components that package and identify glass scoring wheels 10.
- the packaging system includes caddies 28 (i.e., components) having "n" number of different color configurations, where "n” is an integer.

- the packaging system includes containers 26 (i.e., components) having "n" number of different color configurations, where "n” is an integer.
- the color configuration of each of the "n” different color configuration containers 26 is different than the color
- a caddy 28 may have a first color configuration, and the container 26 may have a second color configuration.
- the color configuration is a single color that identifies a single attribute of the scoring wheels 10 packaged within the container 26 / caddy 28 pair.
- Table 1 illustrates a legend for identifying a plurality of different scoring wheels 10 based on their wheel angle 24:
- scoring wheels 10 have a regular grind (“RG”) beveled edge surface finish.
- scoring wheels 10 can have different surface finishes (e.g., polished (“P”), regular grind (“RG”), course grind (“CG”), etc.).
- P polished
- RG regular grind
- CG course grind
- the identified colors may be present on the caddies 28 and/or on the containers 26.
- the caddies 28 are colored and the containers 26 are translucent so that the user may readily determine how many scoring wheels 10 are disposed within the container 26.
- the packaging system includes a plurality of components for packaging and identifying the scoring wheels 10 based on their wheel angle 24, which system distinguishes scoring wheels 10 having ten different wheel angles 24 based on ten different colors.
- Table 2 Another embodiment of the present system is illustrated in Table 2 below.
- the color configuration of the containers 26 identifies both the wheel angle 24 and the beveled edge surface finish:
- the scoring wheels 10 having ten different wheel angles 24 are identified by certain colors, and the beveled edge surface finishes are identified by other colors; e.g., pink stripes indicate a regular grind ("RG") and the orange stripes indicate a course grind ("CG").
- the identified colors may be present on the caddies 28 and/or on the containers 26, and in preferred embodiments, the caddies 28 are colored and the containers 26 are translucent so that the user may readily determine how many scoring wheels 10 are disposed within the container 26.
- the system includes a plurality of components for packaging and identifying the scoring wheels 10 based on their wheel angle 24, which system distinguishes scoring wheels 10 having ten different wheel angles 24 based on ten different colors, and beveled edge surface finishes are identified by additional different color stripes.
- the present packaging system can include a separate legend that the user can use to identify the significance of the colors / combination of colors.
- the wheel angles and colors given in examples illustrated in Tables 1 and 2 are for illustrative purposes only, and the present packaging system is not limited to these examples. Additional color combinations and patterns can be used to further identify different physical attributes of the scoring wheels 10.
- physical aspects of the scoring wheels 10 maybe identified using a combination of colors (as indicated above) and alphanumeric characters printed and/or embossed onto the base 34 and/or container 26. In this manner, a user can quickly identify a desired first attribute (e.g., wheel angle) and a second attribute (a beveled edge surface finish).
