СПОСОБ И УСТРОЙСТВО ДЛЯ ГИБКИ И ОТПУСКА ИЛИ ЗАКАЛКИ ИЗОГНУТОЙ ПО ДВУМ НАПРАВЛЕНИЯМ СТЕКЛЯННОЙ ПАНЕЛИ

摘要

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for bending and tempering or heat-strengthening a bidirecdonally curved glass panel. A heated glass panel is curved in a main bending direction parallel to the advancing direction and in a sagging direction transversely to the advancing direction. Curving in the sagging direction is performed by bending conveyor rolls, the bending of which is effected by turning lever elements bearing-mounted for free rotation on the ends of the conveyor rolls. Between the outer ends of the lever elements is a push rod, whose length is quickly variable by means of an actuator.
