PCT No. PCT/FI94/00283 Sec. 371 Date May 10, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date May 10, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 23, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/04707 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 16, 1995The invention relates to a method in a sequential bending furnace for bending glass sheets. According to the method, carriages are advanced in the furnace into a section downstream in the traveling direction of the carriages for a subsequent bending cycle essentially by using at least two transfer assemblies, providing a transfer mechanism and including first and second locking elements which are in a transfer-force transmitting relationship during the course of a transfer. This is followed by disengaging the locking elements and then transfer and locking rods included in the transfer assemblies are returned to a transfer commencing position in such a manner that at least one transfer assembly is in a locking position during transfers. Finally, the second locking elements included in the transfer and locking rods returned to the position for commencing a transfer of the carriages are clamped to the first locking elements of the carriages for a subsequent transfer of the carriages effected between the sections.
