Heating and bending glass sheets

While heating and bending glass sheets, it is desirable to raise a glass sheet (110) towards a furnace heat source (11, 12, 106, 122) to increase obtainable temperature differentials and reduce heating power. A method and apparatus are provided in which a glass sheet (110) is supported on a bending...

Summary:While heating and bending glass sheets, it is desirable to raise a glass sheet (110) towards a furnace heat source (11, 12, 106, 122) to increase obtainable temperature differentials and reduce heating power. A method and apparatus are provided in which a glass sheet (110) is supported on a bending mould (10, 111) which is transported on a carriage (1, 114) and at least part of the mould is raised above the highest part of the carriage. The bent glass sheet may be used in the manufacture of a vehicle glazing.
