| 20100186452 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BENDING AND TEMPERING A GLASS PANEL - The invention relates to a method and apparatus for bending a glass panel. A heated flat glass panel is fed from a furnace onto a bending conveyor while the bending conveyor is in a straight configuration. The bending conveyor and the glass panel are arched to a desired curvature while the glass panel travels along the bending conveyor. The bent glass panel is passed from the bending conveyor onto a tempering conveyor present as its extension, which has been previously arched to a desired curve as early as or even prior to having the flat glass panel received by the straight bending conveyor. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100162764 | METHOD OF DEFLECTING CONVEYOR ROLLS INTENDED FOR BENDING GLASS PANELS, AND ASSEMBLY APPLYING THE METHOD - The invention relates to a method of longitudinally deflecting conveyor rolls intended for bending glass panels. The method includes deflecting the conveyor rolls during a glass-panel bending process by turning link member on which the ends of the conveyor rolls are mounted with bearings. In order to turn the link members of each conveyor roll, at least one link member is subjected to a force sufficient for its turning by a position-identifying electric drive. At least the other link member is subjected to a force sufficient for its turning by a second electric drive, which is controlled on the basis of position data provided by the position-identifying electric drive. The present invention relates also to an assembly applying the method for bending glass panels. | 07-01-2010 |
