GLASS SHEET GUIDANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GUIDING GLASS SHEETS

A glass sheet guidance system includes a guidance member (22) having a small contact area with the glass sheet (12) and being taut to provide guidance to the glass sheet. In order to provide consistent guidance, even in environments where there is a large change in temperature, the guidance member i...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A glass sheet guidance system includes a guidance member (22) having a small contact area with the glass sheet (12) and being taut to provide guidance to the glass sheet. In order to provide consistent guidance, even in environments where there is a large change in temperature, the guidance member is held taut by a tension member (24). The guidance member is supported by holders (10) so that, while remaining taut, the guidance member can be moved in three dimensions so as to accommodate glass sheets having different widths (1), heights (2), and thicknesses (3). Also, there is provided a method of guiding glass sheets with the guidance system. L'invention porte sur un système de guidage de feuilles de verre qui comprend un élément de guidage (22) ayant une petite surface de contact avec une feuille de verre (12) et étant sous tension pour pouvoir guider la feuille de verre. Pour assurer un guidage efficace, même dans des environnements soumis à de grandes variations de température, l'élément de guidage est maintenu en tension par un élément tendeur (24). L'élément de guidage est retenu par des supports (10) de manière à pouvoir être déplacé dans trois dimensions, tout en restant sous tension, ce qui lui permet de recevoir des feuilles de verre de différentes largeurs (1), hauteurs (2) et épaisseurs (3). L'invention porte également sur une méthode de guidage de feuilles de verre au moyen dudit système de guidage.
