Sheet glass bending apparatus.

摘要

A sheet glass bending apparatus [100] includes a pressing stage [S1] disposed downstream of a heating furnace [1] and a quenching stage [S2] disposed downstream of the pressing stage [S1]. The sheet glass bending apparatus [100] also comprises a lifting/lowering member [3] for vertically moving a ring mold [7] which supports a lower surface of a glass sheet [G] in the pressing stage [S1], and a shuttle [28] reciprocally movable between the pressing stage [S1] and the quenching stage [S2] while holding the ring mold [7], the shuttle [28] being operable to receive the ring mold [7] from and transfer the ring mold [7] to the lifting/lowering member [3].
