Glass Sheet Bending Process

A process for bending tempered glass.

Glass sheet bending process.

The specification discloses a method for producing a curved glass member having a transparent electroconductive coating by first coating the glass flat with indium tin oxide followed by coating that film with a layer of carbonaceous material and covering that layer with a mating piece of glass while the two pieces of glass are bent in a bending oven. An apparatus and method for precision bending a glass sheet that includes an oven for heating the glass sheet to a temperature near the softening temperature of the glass sheet. All you need is a flame. At least one bending mechanism on a pair of arms inside the oven for bending an.

Now though german scientists have developed a method of bending a single sheet of glass to a 90 degree angle without affecting its optical properties. The glass is fractured and the unit manipulated into a desired shape. Once the adhesion has set the vinyl is removed. For bent laminated glass the most common workflow is to first bend the glass sandwich with the desired number of glass sheets in the interlayer and then proceed with the autoclave process.

A process and a device for the bending on a frame of at least one glass sheet by gravity the bending being performed in at least two stages during which the glass sheet or sheets undergo a deformation by gravity. The process of bending provides glass with a new functional and aesthetic quality. Bent glass units offered by press glass are made in a process based on tempering. A stage for supporting the glass sheet.

After reaching the glass temperature close to the softening point the glass pane is curved to obtain the required shape and then quickly cooled down i e. A glass bending line for quickly shaping a complex bent glass sheet is provided that includes moving a ring type female mold which has a heated glass sheet placed on it and a full face heated male mold toward one another. Lamination bending is a process that somewhat combines cold and hot bending as well as lamination. German tech bends glass sheets at right.

The process involves adhering two sheets of tempered glass in overlying relation and positioning a containment barrier such as vinyl sheets over the adhered unit. A pair of reference surfaces on the stage for precisely locating the glass sheet on the stage. In a first stage the glass sheet or sheets are bent according to a first shape corresponding to a blank or precursor of the final shape. Furthermore the process can also be used to bend a series of glass sheets to specific graduated radii so as to produce sandwich structures and sheets of laminated safety and insulating glass.
