Abstract: A glass plate bend-breaking machine 1 includes: a flexible endless belt 3; a supporting member 4 for supporting the endless belt 3; two glass plate receiving devices 7 and 7a respectively having glass plate receiving surfaces 6 and 6a; moving devices 8 and 8a for respectively moving the glass plate receiving devices 7 and 7a in an X direction and a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction; two press-breaking devices 9 and 9a; and moving devices 10 and 10a for respectively moving the press-breaking devices 9 and 9a in the X direction and the Y direction perpendicular to the X direction.

Abstract: A glass plate bend-breaking machine includes a flexible endless belt on which a glass plate is placed; a supporting mechanism for supporting the glass plate through the endless belt; a glass plate receiving device disposed below the endless belt and having a glass plate receiving surface for receiving the glass plate through the endless belt and a recess surrounded by the glass plate receiving surface; a moving device for moving the glass plate receiving surface of the glass plate receiving device; a press-breaking device disposed above the endless belt and having a pressing surface for press-breaking the glass plate; and a moving device for moving the pressing surface of the press-breaking device.

Abstract: An apparatus for scribing the coating on a coated panel; comprising a base, at least one linear guide affixed to the base, a moveable table, a pivotable bracket mounted on the base, a cutter element mounted on the bracket; a loading mechanism positioned on top of the bracket, such that when the cutter element in the cutter assembly is brought into contact with a panel positioned on the moveable table, the loading mechanism applies a uniform force to the panel position on the table. The cutter element in contact with the panel scribes the panel through the coating thereby forming a scribe of at least one line on the panel.
