Method of and system for bending sheet glass.

摘要

A sheet of glass (G) is bent with a system including a feed mechanism (3,8,6) for feeding the sheet (G) of glass along a predetermined path, a heating furnace (1) disposed along the path, for heating the sheet (G) of glass, and a shaping device (2 : 5,6) disposed along the path for bending the sheet (G) of glass heated by the heating furnace (1). Immediately before the sheet (G) of glass is bent by the shaping device (2), the sheet (G) of glass is thermally processed to different degrees at leading and trailing end portions thereof along the path, thereby making temperatures of the sheet (G) of glass uniform from the leading end portion to the trailing end portion.
