摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus for bending glass panels. An upper tier of successive mould carriages ( 9 ) defines a number of heating stations, the final one being an actual bending station ( 4 b). A lower tier of successive mould carriages ( 9 ) defines a number of cooling stations ( 5, 6, 7 ), which are located underneath the heating stations. The mould carriages have an open-structured or otherwise highly heat transmitting floor ( 10 ). A pre-bending station ( 4 a) preceding the bending station ( 4 b) and at least the final preheating station ( 3 b) have a floor ( 15 ), on top of which are radiation heating elements ( 16 ) positioned below a floor ( 10 ) of the carriage ( 9 ) for speeding up the heating of a bottom glass panel for preventing it from falling behind from the heating of a top glass panel.
