Patent ID: 8109117

Claim:
A method of bending superposed sheets of glass brought to their bending temperature, comprising: picking up two superposed sheets with a first top form by way of a first suction generated by the first top form, the first suction creating an upward airflow blowing over a rim of the two superposed sheets and being sufficient to lift and hold the two superposed sheets against the first top form; then pressing the two superposed sheets between the first top form and a full surface solid concave bottom form furnished with openings, the pressing the two superposed sheets being initiated while the first suction is not yet finished or is finishing; then forming the two superposed sheets by way of a second suction of a main face of a bottom sheet of the two superposed sheets, the second suction being generated through the openings of the full surface solid concave bottom form, the second suction being initiated before the pressing is finished; then cooling the sheets, wherein the first top form is a frame.
