TRANSFER DEVICE FOR BENT GLASS SHEETS

摘要

Transfer device for bent glass sheets during the course of auto- mated production of motor vehicle glass windows on a production line with continuous furnace, bending press, toughening station and device for onward conveyance of the toughened glass sheets. The transfer device operates between bending press and toughening station. The transfer device is a shuttle transfer device whose shuttle is guided on shuttle guide rails. The shuttle guide rails are supported statically on the one hand on the press frame of the bending press and on the other hand on the station frame of the toughening station as beams on two supports or ae continuous beams. The shuttle incorporates a shuttle frame as well as a shuttle ring mounted therein and the shuttle frame is guided on the shuttle guide rails by means of a shuttle frame mounting which movable on the shuttle guide rails. The shuttle ring is adjustable in relation to the shuttle frame mounting and thus in relation to the male bending mould. The shuttle ring incorporates on its edges position- ing devices for the glass sheets received. At least the areas of the shuttle guide rails which project into the press frame of the bending press are removable for the purpose of carrying out main- tenance and/or repair work on the bending press.
