Method for bending glass sheets characterized in that said method comprises at least the following steps: - placing a glass sheet on a angular support or mold, said support being arranged vertically or partially inclined with respect to the vertical axis, so that said support keeps said sheet around its perimeter, leaving a portion of the glass sheet, corresponding to a portion of the glass sheet to be bent, which is cantilevered with respect to the support; - moving said support or mold and said glass sheet inside a pre-heated chamber which is heated to a prefixed temperature that is greater than 500°C; - heating said glass sheet, inside said pre-heated chamber, by convection and by radiation, by means of heating elements including at least one electric heating device, which is placed in correspondence of the bending area of said glass sheet and which is able to locally increase the temperature of said glass sheet, said electric heating device being contained within a shaped casing with an opening having a predetermined width for releasing the heat and being made of a material resistant to high temperatures; - rotating said angular support or mold and said glass sheet when a temperature greater than the temperature of the surface of said glass sheet is obtained inside said chamber, so that said glass sheet is bent through the force of gravity and completely rests on said support or mold; - moving the bent glass sheet in a zone for a rapid cooling, so that a surface tension is carried out by sending air, emitted by fans, on the surfaces of said glass sheet, said air having a controlled and variable pressure depending on the thickness of said glass sheet and on the distance of the surfaces of said glass sheet from said fans; - moving said glass sheet in a discharge zone, where said glass sheet is removed, controlled and packed. - placing a glass sheet on a angular support or mold, said support being arranged vertically or partially inclined with respect to the vertical axis, so that said support keeps said sheet around its perimeter, leaving a portion of the glass sheet, corresponding to a portion of the glass sheet to be bent, which is cantilevered with respect to the support; - moving said support or mold and said glass sheet inside a pre-heated chamber which is heated to a prefixed temperature that is greater than 500°C; - heating said glass sheet, inside said pre-heated chamber, by convection and by radiation, by means of heating elements including at least one electric heating device, which is placed in correspondence of the bending area of said glass sheet and which is able to locally increase the temperature of said glass sheet, said electric heating device being contained within a shaped casing with an opening having a predetermined width for releasing the heat and being made of a material resistant to high temperatures; - rotating said angular support or mold and said glass sheet when a temperature greater than the temperature of the surface of said glass sheet is obtained inside said chamber, so that said glass sheet is bent through the force of gravity and completely rests on said support or mold; - moving the bent glass sheet in a zone for a rapid cooling, so that a surface tension is carried out by sending air, emitted by fans, on the surfaces of said glass sheet, said air having a controlled and variable pressure depending on the thickness of said glass sheet and on the distance of the surfaces of said glass sheet from said fans; - moving said glass sheet in a discharge zone, where said glass sheet is removed, controlled and packed.
