Abstract

See full text

A conveyor system includes a transfer section conveyor arrangement for quickly transporting glass sheets from a furnace conveyor to a glass processing apparatus and accurately positioning the glass sheet for further processing. The conveyor system includes specially designed locator pads, which are designed to engage the glass sheet, upon the glass sheet exiting the furnace. The locator pads are designed to engage and properly align the glass sheet for the bending process. The pads are driven by a gearing apparatus, which allows conveyance in two substantially perpendicular directions of motion so that the glass sheet can be properly aligned in the press bending molds.
