摘要

Process for bending in a vertical position a glass sheet heated to a temperature above its softening point and superheated in the region 2 intended for the bend. A part of the glass sheet 1 is pressed and the remaining part of the glass is folded down by a rolling member 9. The invention applies especially to the shaping of glass sheets with a small radius of curvature. <IMAGE>
