IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO SHAPING GLASS SHEETS

摘要

Tongs for suspending glass comprise an elongate suspension member the upper end of which is for fixing relative to a tong bar. A pair of tong arms are pivoted about a pivot on the suspension member which pivot is at a fixed distance from the upper end of the suspension member. The tong arms extend beyond the pivot as tong jaws and tong links connected to the tong arms are also connected to a biassed member which is effective through the links to close the tong jaws in the rest position of the biassed member. A number of such tongs are fixed to a tong bar, being spaced apart along the bar and lifting means connected to the biassed member is operated by actuating means at one or the other end of the tong bar when the tong jaws are to be opened.
