Patent

CA 2144066

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for bending glass sheets. A glass sheet supported by a ring mould (5) is heated in successive heating stations. The glass sheet reaches a final bending temperature in a bending station (14). A press-bend- ing mould (16) is transferred from outside bending station (14) into the bending station through an opening (22') in its wall. The ring mould (5) along with its glass sheet is lifted by means of a hoist mechanism (6) upwards for pressing the glass sheet against press-bending mould (16) for completing the bending. The same bending station (14) can also be used solely for gravitational bending when said press-bending mould (16) is retained outside the bending station.
