ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for stopping a glass panel conveyed from a furnace into a tempering station or a bending and tempering station. In the method, a glass panel is carried upon rolls and pressed by means of overhead press rollers, as the conveying speed of the rollers is decelerated for stopping the glass panel. Over a deceleration distance, the rate of deceleration is within the range of 0.6-3 m/s.sup.2. By virtue of the overhead press rollers, the rate of deceleration can be increased, such that the glass exit speed from a furnace can be raised and, at the same time, the glass cooling time can be minimized prior to a tempering process.
