Abstract
A device and a method for bending, by gravity, a sheet of glass or a stack of sheets of glass including a plurality of sides, called the glass, including a skeleton for supporting the glass in its peripheral zone by a contact track, the contact track including concave curvatures on each of the sides of the skeleton, and a counter-skeleton capable of entering into contact with the glass in the zone of the middle of at least one side of the peripheral zone of the top main face of the glass.
