ABSTRACT:
A glass bending and tempering apparatus including a bending and tempering section, a deformable glass support device and a device for quenching a glass sheet is disclosed. The deformable glass support device is deformable from a substantially flat configuration to a configuration having a desired curvature. The device for quenching a glass sheet is conformable to the curvature of the support device during deformation of the support device. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for blowing air that is vertically movable relative to the support device.
