Abstract

A method for forming a depression into a glass object for storing cremated remains may include coating a metal sphere with diamond dust. The method may include spinning the diamond dust coated metal sphere via a spindle and motor arrangement. The method further may include pressing the spinning diamond dust coated metal sphere against at least one face of the glass object. Furthermore, the method may include applying coolant while pressing the spinning diamond dust coated metal sphere against at least one face of the glass object. The continuous spin and pressure of the diamond dust coated metal sphere against at least one face of the glass object grinds the depression into the glass object.

Claims (36)

1. A method of forming a depression into a glass object for storing cremated remains, the method comprising:

coating a metal sphere with diamond dust, the diamond dust having a predetermined coarseness;

spinning the diamond dust coated metal sphere via a spindle and motor arrangement;

pressing the spinning diamond dust coated metal sphere against at least one face of the glass object; and

wherein continuous spin and pressure of the diamond dust coated metal sphere against the at least one face of the glass object forms the depression on the glass object, wherein the depression comprises a texture for holding the cremated remains.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising applying coolant while pressing the spinning diamond dust coated metal sphere against the at least one face of the glass object.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein coating the metal sphere with diamond dust comprises:

electroplating the metal sphere by the diamond dust of the predetermined coarseness.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined coarseness of the diamond dust is obtained from rough cut or smooth cut of a diamond piece.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein spinning the diamond dust coated metal sphere via a spindle and motor arrangement comprises:

spinning in a horizontal direction.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein continuous spin and pressure of the diamond dust coated metal sphere against the at least one face of the glass object forms the depression on the glass object forms the depression of predetermined depth.

7. The method of claim 2 , further comprising washing away grounds of the glass object generated during formation of the depression by the application of the coolant.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

polishing the depression of the glass object.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

drying the depression of the glass object.

10. A method of forming a glass object having a depression for storing cremated remains, the method comprising:

coating a metal sphere with diamond dust, the diamond dust having a predetermined coarseness;

spinning the diamond dust coated metal sphere via a spindle and motor arrangement;

pressing the spinning diamond dust coated metal sphere against at least one face of the glass object, wherein continuous spin and pressure of the diamond dust coated metal sphere against the at least one face of the glass object forms the depression on the glass object, wherein the depression comprises a texture;

adding an adhesive in the depression, wherein the texture in the depression holds the adhesive;

filling the depression with the cremated remains, wherein the texture in the depression holds the cremated remains; and

curing the adhesive with the cremated remains in the depression.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein coating the metal sphere with diamond dust comprises:

electroplating the metal sphere by the diamond dust of the predetermined coarseness.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined coarseness of the diamond dust is obtained from rough cut or smooth cut of a diamond piece.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein spinning the diamond dust coated metal sphere via a spindle and motor arrangement comprises:

spinning in a horizontal direction.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein continuous spin and pressure of the diamond dust coated metal sphere against the at least one face of the glass object forms the depression on the glass object forms the depression of predetermined depth.

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising applying coolant while pressing the spinning diamond dust coated metal sphere against the at least one face of the glass object.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising washing away grounds of the glass object generated during formation of the depression by the application of the coolant.

17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

polishing the depression of the glass object; and

drying the depression of the glass object.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein curing the adhesive with the cremated remains comprises exposing in UV light for a predetermined time the adhesive with the cremated remains.
