  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BENDING AND TEMPERING A GLASS PANEL
    Publication number: 20100186452
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for bending a glass panel. A heated flat glass panel is fed from a furnace onto a bending conveyor while the bending conveyor is in a straight configuration. The bending conveyor and the glass panel are arched to a desired curvature while the glass panel travels along the bending conveyor. The bent glass panel is passed from the bending conveyor onto a tempering conveyor present as its extension, which has been previously arched to a desired curve as early as or even prior to having the flat glass panel received by the straight bending conveyor.
