摘要:
A ceramic transport shaft for a furnace includes a ceramic shaft member and a metal end cap into which an end of the shaft member is fitted with an annular gap between the shaft member and the end cap. A sleeve fills the gap. The shaft member, the end cap and the sleeve have such linear thermal coefficients of expansion, and the wall of the sleeve has such a radial thickness, that a change in the radial size of the gap due to thermal expansion of the shaft member and the end cap is at least equalled by a change in the radial thickness of the sleeve wall. The sleeve has one or more axial slots to absorb the circumferential expansion thereof during heating.

A process and device for obtaining bent-tempered motor vehicle glazings exhibiting a greatly bent marginal zone comprises a glass sheet heated in a furnace and shaped by pressing the glass sheet between a solid upper form and a bending frame, of which at least one side part is bent during pressing. The side part is covered with an elastically deformable felt material and is removed from the glass sheet during tempering, while the main part of the glass sheet remains supported by the bending frame which also serves as a tempering 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.

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 the manufacture of bent or curved car glass plates or panes with more markedly bent areas, the latter are additionally locally heated with acetylene--oxygen, or acetylene--air, flames. An apparatus suitable for this includes a continuous furnace (1) and a bending station (3) with a bending mold (41) positioned above the conveying plane of the glass plates (9), as well as a ring mold (45) which serves as a countermold and a conveying ring and which is located on a movable carriage (44). In the areas of more marked bending below the ring mold (45) are provided burner tubes (42), which are supplied via flexible hoses with the acetylene gas and the combustion air or oxygen. Alternatively, the plates are locally heated in a transition zone (7) located between the furnace and the bending station by a gas burner (8), and thereafter pressed in the bending station by an upper bending mold (14) and a lower ring mold (16).

An apparatus for producing two-dimensionally bent and optionally tempered glass plates includes a roller oven (1), a pressing and bending station (2) and a cooling station (3). A lower male mold-like, full surface bending mold (10) with two-dimensionally shaped bending surface is arranged in the pressing and bending station (2). The top surface of the bending surface of the bending mold (10) is located in the conveying plane defined by the conveying rollers (5). The wall of the bending mold (10) forming the bending surface is provided with bores (14), which can be supplied with hot gas for forming a hot gas cushion. After positioning the glass plate (4) on the hot gas cushion, the female mold-like frame bending mold (11) is lowered onto the glass plate (4). The bent glass plate slides on the hot gas cushion into the cooling station (3).
摘要:
Glass plates are bent by discharging a glass plate from a suction plate onto a concave circumferential bending ring. Within the furnace (1) the glass plate is gripped by the suction plate (27) and is moved with the latter out of the furnace (1) into a combined bending and tempering station (10) and is discharged there onto the circumferential bending ring (19) located between two blowing boxes (11,13). Immediately following the discharge of the flass plate onto the circumferential bending ring (19), the suction plate (27) moves back to its starting position and the glass plate is tempered in this position.
摘要:
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 continuous furnace (straight-through furnace) for heating glass panes to their curving and/or toughening temperature is constructed as a circular furnace and comprises an annular, horizontal hot gas support bed (3). On this annular hot gas support bed (3) the glass panes are carried, each by means of a template (56) of heat-resistant metal plate, also floating on the hot gas support bed (3), in a circuit from the feed station (6) to the discharge station (7). The templates (56) are each mounted on the arms (17) of a star-type turntable (16) concentrically to the support bed (3). At the discharge station (7) the glass panes, heated to bending and/or toughening temperature, are removed from the furnace by means of a radially traversable suction plate (42) and transferred into a bending and/or toughening device disposed laterally alongside the furnace.
摘要:
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.
