Apparatus ( ) and a method for roll bending heated glass sheets includes a pair of sets of bending rolls ( ) and a support and drive mechanisms ( ) that supports and rotatively drives the bending rolls at progressively increasing inclinations within a heating chamber ( ) of a roll bending station ( ) to provide engagement and bending at opposite lateral sides of a conveyed glass sheet. The bending rolls ( ) are positioned in their progressively inclined inclinations by cooperation of an elongated connector ( ) and clamps ( ) for providing securement to curved support ribs ( ) of an associated frame at the adjacent lateral side of the roll bending station housing.
