Abstract

An untempered sheet of glass is given a predetermined curvature by means of preheated forming dies (3, 4 in Fig. 1). The glass sheet (1) is not preheated or is heated only to a relatively low temperature prior to being inserted between the dies. Heat transfer from the dies to the glass prior to closure of the dies produces or assists in producing in the thickness of the glass sheet a transitory thermal stress gradient which gives resistance to breakage under bending forces. The absence of high temperature preheating of the sheet is conducive to a more predictable stress distribution pattern over the area of the sheet prior to bending. The process enables predetermined sheet curvatures to be achieved with higher degrees of accuracy. <IMAGE>
