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. <EOS>
