Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an overpressure-assisted gravity bending method for glass sheets, a device suitable for the method, and the use of an upper forming tool for generating an overpressure in the gravity bending method. Background technique
[0002] Mounting glazing for motor vehicles typically has a curvature. A widely used method for bending glass sheets is so-called gravity bending (also known as gravity bending or sag bending). In this case, the glass pane, which is flat in the initial state, is arranged on the support surface of the bending form. Thereafter, the plate is heated to at least its softening temperature, so that the plate bears against the support surface under the influence of gravity. In this way, the shape of the glass pane can be influenced by the configuration of the support surface. The final bend is achieved by gravity bending. Such a method is known, for example, from document GB 813069 A. However, multi-stage bending ...
