  • TOOL FOR OVER-MOULDING AND/OR BACK-MOULDING A CURVED GLASS BODY, AND METHOD FOR OVER-MOULDING AND/OR BACK-MOULDING A CURVED GLASS BODY
    Publication number: 20220032514
    Abstract: A tool for overmoulding and/or backmoulding a curved glass body is proposed, the tool having a first surface for supporting the curved glass body. The tool comprises a plurality of pins, the pins each having a first end face at a first end of the pins, and at least one section of the first surface being formed by the first end faces of the pins. The pins are mounted to be displaceable in their longitudinal direction so that at least the section of the first surface can be adapted to a contour of the curved glass body.
