Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniform the pressure distribution of air jetted on the end side surface portion of a glass plate and prevent the optical distortion on molding, when the glass plate is curved and molded into a window glass for an automobile and even when the glass plate is sufficiently not arranged with carrying rolls. SOLUTION: This air nozzle for floating a thermally softened glass plate with the pressures of high temperature jet air flows from the lower side and pressing the floated glass plate to the lower surface of an upward curved mold to form the curved molded product, characterized by forming the outer shape of the air nozzle in a stepped columnar shape obtained by threadedly engaging a small diameter columnar portion with a large diameter columnar portion, and then allowing an air-introducing route in the large diameter columnar portion to communicate with a space formed between the inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical projected portion disposed at the outer circumferential end portion of the large diameter columnar portion and the outer circumferential surface of the small diameter columnar portion. The jetted air flow is jetted from the space along the outer circumferential surface of the small diameter columnar portion to press the surface of the glass plate in a uniform pressure distribution.

When a glass sheet is bent by the quick sag bend method, when the glass sheet is pressed against the lower surface of a bending mold by jet air jetted upward from an air nozzle, the glass sheet is bent. Since a plurality of transport rolls for transporting the glass sheet are provided between the air nozzles, the glass sheet floats and is pressed against the bending mold by the jet air jetted from the nozzle provided below the transport roll. In this case, the jet air inevitably passes through between the transport rolls and is jetted upward.

In this case, the pressure distribution of the jet air jetted to the lower surface of the glass plate is such that when a part of the peripheral edge of the glass plate has a positional relationship such that it intersects with the transport roll, the transport is In the vicinity of the edge of the glass plate that intersects with the roll, the jet pressure of the jet air on the glass surface varies depending on the transport roll, and may not be uniform, although the glass plate can be bent relatively close to the desired shape,
Some optical distortion or the like was observed at a portion where the periphery of the glass plate and the longitudinal direction of the transport roll intersect.

On the other hand, when bending a rear window glass or the like for a vehicle, the upper and lower sides of the substantially trapezoidal glass plate 1 intersect with the longitudinal direction of the transport roll 5 as shown in FIG. Since the bending depth of the wings of the two wings of the glass plate 1 is large, the jet air moves away from the air nozzle as the two wings of the glass plate 1 curve along the bending mold, and jet air is generated even when the wings are moved away. Remove about one transport roll 5 on both wings of the glass plate so that it is sufficiently distributed on the glass surface.

Further, in the quick sag bend method,
When high-temperature jet air is locally blown on the glass plate surface, there is a problem that the softened glass plate is deformed and undulating optical distortion is likely to occur, and the gap between the rolls is as narrow as tens of millimeters.
