SUPPORT RING WITH WEAR STRIP

摘要

Apparatus for supporting a glass sheet comprising support rail means of rigid metal similar in shape and outline plan to the outline shape of a bent glass sheet, one or more insulating members of non-metallic material having a coefficient of thermal conductivity less than that of the support rail means superimposed over the support rail means and a thin elongated metal foil having a smooth upper glass contacting surface superimposed over each insulating member of non-metallic material. The thickness of the foil is sufficiently thick to enable the foil to be durable when a bottom edge corner of a glass sheet slides thereover and sufficiently thin to enable the composite of foil and glass supporting member to have a thermal conductivity approximating that of said glass supporting member in the absence of said foil.
