Abstract

The invention relates to a device for arranging objects in particular tableware, in a system for coating including a base element, an adapter element and a support element, each of which are designed in such a manner that they can be plugged together in a direction (z). In the plugged-together state, the adapter element is arranged between the base element and the support element with the object disposed in a predetermined position on the adapter element. The adapter element, the base element and the support element are locked relative to one another with the object in such a manner that only a relative movement in the direction (z) is possible amongst each other. The invention further relates to a method for the arrangement of objects, in particular tableware with the device, in a system for coating.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A device for arranging an object of tableware in a system for coating, the device comprising,

a base plate provided with guide means in the form of projections extending from the base plate,
an adapter plate provided with corresponding openings to engage the said projections, and
a support provided with guide elements in the form of bushings to engage with projections of the base plate, wherein the support is mounted on the adapter plate in a one-directional mounting axis to hold the tableware object between the adapter plate and the support in a predetermined position, and fixed at the support,
wherein the base plate, the adapter plate, and the support are in fixed position relative to each other to realize a relative movement only in a direction of the mounting axis, wherein the relative fixed position of the base plate, the adapter plate t, and the support is realized by the projections of the base plate being engaged in corresponding openings in the adapter plate and being engaged with the bushings of the support.
