The invention relates to an apparatus for bending glass panels. An upper tie r of successive mould carriages (9) defines a number of heating compartments, the last one constituting an actual bending compartment (4b). A lower tier o f successive mould carriages (9) defines a number of cooling compartments (5, 6, 7), which are located underneath the heating compartments. The mould carriag es are provided with an open-structured or otherwise highly heat transmissive bottom (10). The mould supporting carriage (9) is provided with mould bearer elements (26) and the final bending compartment (4b) has its lower section provided with ascendable and descendable brace elements (27), which provide bracing for the bearer elements (26) during a pressing operation performed b y means of a male mould (22). In connection with the brace elements (27) are further provided lifting and lowering mechanisms for the brace elements (27) .
