摘要:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a curved automobile glass pane. The glass sheet heated in a continuous roller conveyor furnace to bending temperature, is picked up by a traveling suction device and transported to a curving station adjoining the furnace. In the curving station the glass sheet is deposited onto a curving device which is comprised of a curving-form frame and a curving form which form occupies the interior space of the frame. The suction device is withdrawn, and a hot gas stream is applied from above, which stream impinges on the glass sheet, whereby said sheet is forced against the curving device comprised of the curving-form frame and interior curving form. Then the glass sheet is lifted from the interior curving from by means of the curving-form frame which frame now serves as a support ring, and sheet is transported to the neighboring cooling station.

In an installation for bending glass panes, the glass panes are heated to bending temperature in a horizontal once-through furnace. At the end of the once-through furnace, they are taken over by an endless conveyor belt and are conveyed by this conveyor belt into the bending station, where they are bent together with the conveyor belt. The bent glass pane is conveyed of the conveyor belt into the succeeding cooling or tempering station. In order to support the bent glass pane over the largest possible area, an upper deflector roll for the conveyor belt, disposed at the exit end from the bending station, has a form corresponding to the transverse bend of the glass pane. A lower deflector roll, following the upper deflector roll, has a form complementary to the form of the upper deflector roll. In this way the relative changes in length of the conveyor belt caused by the upper deflector roll are compensated.

A method and installations for curving sheets of glass. The sheets of glass (9) are heated to the curving temperature in a horizontal position in a continuous furnace (1) and are pressed in a curving station (4) which is adjacent to the continuous furnace (1) by means of an annular frame against a solid surface curving form (40). During the pressing between the annular frame and the solid surface curving form (40), the sheets of glass (9) are pressed against said solid surface curving form (40), in the area located inside the annular frame, by the static pressure of a hot gas under pressure, with the static pressure of the gas being produced in a chamber (32) whose upper surface (33) is defined by the annular frame and is closed by the sheet of glass (9) applied in a sealed manner against said annular frame.
摘要:
A process for bending a glass sheet, in particular one for motor vehicles, with curved areas having small radii of curvature. The bending device used is a bending press having a male type mold and a female type mold. The female type mold consists of at least two mold parts hinged together. After part of the glass sheet heated to bending temperature has been received by the bending press, at least one swivelling mold part of the female type mold is swivelled around the swivel axis, against the male type mold. An adjustable electric motor serves as the drive motor to move the swivelling mold parts. The angular velocity of the swivel action of the swivelling mold parts during the bending process is adjusted as a function of the temperature of the glass sheet and the desired degree of deformation.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for shaping a glass sheet according to which the sheet is lifted above the conveying plane by a device for supporting a glass sheet consisting of a box open at the bottom whose opening at the bottom corresponds to the shape of the glass sheet to be grasped and which is slightly smaller than the glass sheet so that, on the edges of the glass sheet, a narrow annular contact surface is formed and so that the partial vacuum prevailing in the box is limited to such a value that the weight of the glass sheet is essentially compensated for, then is applied against a bending form by a current of hot gas directed upward. The process is used in the production of shaped glazings.

A blow box for the thermal tempering of panes of glass. To temper different sizes of glass, the air supply to selected blow tubes or blow tube groups in a blow box having a blow nozzle field disposed to handle relatively large panes of glass is blocked in the edge areas of the blow box, and in this manner the blow nozzle field supplied with forced air is adapted to the shape and size of the glass pane to be tempered. The adaptation of the blow nozzle field to the shape and size of the glass panes takes place, for example, with the aid of a template-like slide block having an opening corresponding to the glass pane, which slide block is arranged inside the air distributing box immediately in front of the front plate provided with the nozzle pipelets and which can be exchanged for a different slide block.

A gas static bearing unit for carrying rollers which is suitable as a heat-resistant bearing inside a horizontal furnace for glass sheets. The bearing unit consists of a bearing 1 which automatically adapts to the orientation of the section of roller 27 mounted in the bearing 1 and which rests on two pins 8, 9 each having a spherical head 16, 17 as a support surface. The first spherical head 17 is mounted stationarily and oscillatingly, and the second spherical head 16 is mounted on a planar base 23 to allow pivoting and sliding around the stationary pin 9. A system of bores 30, 31, 32, 33 makes it possible to supply the rotating clearance with compressed air.

摘要:
In an apparatus for bending glass panes in a horizontal position, comprising an upper bending mold and a lower frame-shaped mold, the bending force exerted by the bending mold is determined by the self-weight of the bending mold. In order that a uniform pressure shall be exerted by the upper bending mold on the entire periphery of the lower frame-shaped mold, the upper bending is mounted displaceable on its guide rods relative to them in a vertical direction and variable in its angular position relative to the guide rods. To achieve the desired relief of weight of the bending mold, the guide rods are suspended by cables from a frame which can be lowered. On the frame, hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders are disposed, which each exert, via a pulling cable acting on a guide rod, an adjustable force in the opposite direction to the self-weight of the bending mold.

A lower blow box of a device for heat tempering glass sheets in horizontal position exhibits a series of nozzle plates which are placed at a distance (A) from one another. Between nozzle plates there are obliquely placed sheet-metal chutes, U-shaped in cross section, which laterally convey out the broken glass pieces arising in the breaking of the glass sheet during tempering. The sheet-metal chutes are vibrated with a vibrator.
