Abstract

A method and apparatus for cutting laminated glass, particularly large sheets. Laminated glass panes utilize two layers of glass having a thin layer of plastic material sandwiched adhesively between the two layers of glass. The apparatus simultaneously scores both sides of the laminated glass pane, i.e., both layers of glass that make up the laminated pane are simultaneously scored so that both layers of glass may be successively cracked along the score lines and the layers spaced apart along the score line while still connected by the layer of plastic material so as to give access to the intermediate layer of resilient plastic material, which is then cut in a subsequent step.
