ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting a glass sheet during a tempering process is provided in which a truss ring structure having a hot/cold ring and a plurality of shaped fingers having converging diagonal sides extending from the hot/cold ring supports the glass sheet. The apparatus further includes cushioning means which may include at least one layer of a composite mesh cloth, a fiberglass tube, or both. In a preferred arrangement, the composite mesh cloth is folded around the fiberglass tube and the shaped fingers to provide optimum cushion and quench air flow to the glass.
