AIR-QUENCH FORTIFYING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GLASS SHEET

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air-quench fortifying apparatus for a glass sheet, which is adaptible to a plurality of curved glass sheets bend-formed with a plurality of curvature radii. SOLUTION: A plurality of lower blow port members 34 which are disposed in a matrix manner and arranged in the directions indicated by arrowheads A are curved so as to have a desired first curvature radius in the directions indicated by the arrowheads A by operating a first link mechanism 140. The plurality of lower blow port members 34 which are disposed in a matrix manner and arranged in the directions indicated by arrowheads B are curved so as to have a desired second curvature radius in the directions indicated by the arrowheads B by operating a second link mechanism 240. The blow port face formed by all lower blow port members 34 has the first curvature radius formed by the first link mechanism 140 and the second curvature radius formed by the second link mechanism 240.
