  • Bending device for shaping glass for use in aircraft transparencies
    Patent number: 10399884
    Abstract: A glass sheet used in the making of an aircraft windshield is shaped using the “cut-to-size” method instead of the “out-after-bend” method. In a preferred aspect of the invention the “cut-to-size” method is practiced using a bending iron having a sheet shaping rail having a stationary shaping rail portion mounted on a support member and an articulating shaping rail portion pivotally mounted on the support member for movement from a non-shaping position to a shaping position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2019
    Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.
    Inventors: John E. DeAngelis, Yu Jiao, Dennis D. Warren, Chao Yu

  • Bending device for shaping glass for use in aircraft transparencies
    Patent number: 8978420
    Abstract: A sheet bending device includes a sheet shaping rail having a stationary shaping rail portion mounted on a support member and an articulating shaping rail portion pivotally mounted on the support member for movement from a non-shaping position to a shaping position. A retention member limits movement of a sheet to be shaped relative to the stationary shaping rail portion when the articulating shaping rail portion moves to the shaping position. A “cut-to-size” method is also disclosed to shape a sheet for use in making an aircraft transparency.
