<p>A combined bending and quench station (30) disclosed comprises a roller conveyor (36) proximate a glass heating furnace (32). The roller conveyor (36) includes elongated rolls (38) spaced from each other in a parallel relationship. A plurality of molds (40) are located generally between the rolls (38). Each mold (40) has a glass engagement surface (42). An actuator (48) engages the glass engagement surfaces (42) with the heated glass sheet (34) to provide bending. Upper and lower blastheads (44, 46) supply quenching gas that impinges with the bent glass sheet (34) while engaged with the molds (40) to fix the shape and provide tempering of the bent glass sheet.</p> |
