Improvement in or relating to the performance of machines for bending and tempering glass plates on a curved forming bed in the sense of the travelling of the glass plates

摘要

The invention relates to the bending and quenching of glass sheets in a plant with a forming bed curved in the direction of travel of the glass. …??It proposes a process in which the glass sheets at the end of the plant are picked up by a tilting device to be transferred onto a substantially horizontal conveyor, this tilting device, after having deposited a glass sheet, being brought into a position for receiving a new glass sheet either without tilting or by rotation through an angle smaller than the angle through which it must turn to permit the transfer of a glass sheet onto the substantially horizontal conveyor by tilting. …??The invention also proposes a tilting device which has a number of positions for receiving glass sheets and optionally blowing means for quenching the glass. …??The invention enables the plant efficiency to be improved by permitting the glass sheets to travel virtually without any interval between them. …IMAGE…
