ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a multi-leveled storage system located immediately above a glass sheet bending lehr. The multi-leveled storage system includes an elevator which enables an operator to transfer empty bending molds in groups from a return conveyor located above the roof of a bending lehr onto any one of several storage levels and to replace the tranferred molds with molds needed to produce a different pattern by transferring the different pattern molds from a selected storage level and to transfer said molds needed for said different pattern onto the return conveyor of the conveyor system used for handling glass sheet bending molds. The present invention also enables an operator to shuffle molds between different storage levels to facilitate future mold exchange operations.
