ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a movable gate disposed between a fluid application station and a glass sheet transfer station of apparatus for processing heated glass sheets that are suspended or gripped by tongs along their upper edges during their conveyance along a first path of glass sheet travel for heating and further processing. The gate is moved to a retracted position to let a glass sheet leave the fluid application station and into an operative position to minimize swaying of the processed glass sheet when the latter is along said first path of glass sheet travel downstream of said fluid application station. This increases the chance of transferring the glass sheet in non-tilting relation to a peg conveyor located along a second path of glass sheet travel.
