  "claims": [
    "1. A glass-plate working apparatus comprising: a scribe line forming device for forming scribe lines on two glass plates; a glass-plate bend-breaking device for bend-breaking the two glass plates; a glass-plate peripheral edge grinding device for grinding peripheral edges of the two glass plates; and a glass-plate transporting device for carrying in and carrying out two glass plates at a time with respect to each of the scribe line forming device, the glass-plate bend-breaking device, and the glass-plate peripheral edge grinding device, the glass-plate peripheral edge grinding device having a grinding worktable which sucks and supports the glass plate and is moved along a Y-axis, a Y-axis moving means for moving the grinding worktable along the Y-axis, a grinding head which is moved along an X-axis, and an X-axis moving means for moving the grinding head along the X-axis, X-Y coordinate system controlled movement of the glass-plate peripheral edge grinding device in simultaneous grinding of peripheral edges of the two glass plates being adapted to be effected independently of each other.",
    "2. A glass-plate working apparatus comprising: a scribing position for forming scribe lines on two glass plates; a bend-breaking position for bend-breaking the two glass plates; a peripheral edge grinding position for grinding peripheral edges of corresponding ones of the glass plates by two glass-plate peripheral edge grinding devices which are moved under control by a X-Y coordinate system, and a glass-plate transporting device whereby two glass plates at a time are replaced and transported consecutively among said positions, each of said two glass-plate peripheral edge grinding devices having a grinding worktable which sucks and supports the glass plate and is moved along a Y-axis, and a grinding head which is moved along an X-axis, X-Y coordinate system controlled movement of the two glass-plate peripheral edge grinding devices being adapted to be effected independently of each other."

  "description_excerpt": "This application is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT/JP2016/003864 filed Aug. 24, 2016, which designated the U.S. and claims priority to JP Patent Application No. 2015-166267 filed Aug. 25, 2015, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.\n\nThe present invention relates to a glass-plate working apparatus for manufacturing glass plates for automobile windows and glass plates for other usage by performing processing including cutting (cut line forming, i.e., scribing), bend-breading, and peripheral edge grinding with respect to the glass plates. In addition, the present invention concerns a glass-plate working apparatus in which at least two glass plates at a time are simultaneously processed in a cutting (scribing) position, a bend-breaking position, and a peripheral edge grinding position.\n\nPatent Document 1 describes a glass-plate working apparatus in which two glass plates at a time are simultaneously processed in a scribing position, a bend-breaking position, and a peripheral edge grinding position while the two glass plates at a time are replaced and transported consecutively among the scribing position, the bend-breaking position, and the peripheral edge grinding position.\n\nPatent Document Patent Document 1: JP-A-8-231238\n\nProblems that the Invention is to Solve The glass-plate working apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is comprised of a main cut line forming section having two main cut line forming devices and a glass plate peripheral edge grinding section having two peripheral edge grinding devices.",
