ABSTRACT:
An interruption closure apparatus for closing an interruption in a glass bending shaping rail includes a rail segment attached to one side of a plate and a universal joint attached to an opposite side of the plate. The universal joint is also attached to one end of an arm which in turn is rotatably connected to a shaft for rotating the rail segment into and out of an interruption in the shaping rail. A stop member attached to the arm limits movement of the plate to prevent rotational misalignment with the interruption in the shaping rail. A plurality of screws are threaded through apertures in the plate into contact with an under surface of adjacent portions of the shaping rail when the rail segment is in the interruption. Rotation of the screws permits the positioning of an upper surface of the rail segment with respect to an upper surface of the adjacent portions of the shaping rail to provide an uninterrupted smooth edge portion in a glass sheet being formed on the rail.
