Abstract:
1. A process for the gravity bending of a glass sheet on a support comprising a chassis, a first frame and a second frame, the second frame being articulated and comprising a mobile lateral part that passes from an open position to a closed position by means of an articulation in the course of a bending procedure, the process comprising beginning the bending of the glass sheet on the first frame while the second frame is in the open position, and finishing the bending of the glass sheet on the second frame in the closed position, the sheet passing from the first frame to the second frame during the bending procedure as a result of a relative vertical movement of the first and the second frames and of a raising of the mobile lateral part of the second frame, wherein a contact area of the first frame with the glass sheet located in a vertical line with the articulation is above the articulation at the instant the articulation is closed.
