Abstract
A device for conveying sheets of glass running one after another, includes at least one roller including a conveying zone for the sheets of glass, the device including actuators situated on either side of the conveying zone that are able to curve the roller in its range of elastic deformation while leaving it able to be driven in rotation about fixed centers of the sections thereof, the actuators being able to give the roller, on either side of the conveying zone, a level and a direction that give it an asymmetric shape with respect to the plane that is orthogonal thereto and situated equidistantly from the actuators.
Claims19
A device for conveying sheets of glass running one after another, comprising a first roller, comprising a conveying zone for the sheets of glass, said device comprising actuators situated on either side of the conveying zone that are configured to curve said first roller in its range of elastic deformation while leaving it able to be driven in rotation about fixed centers of sections thereof, the actuators being configured to give said first roller, on either side of the conveying zone, a level and a direction that give it an asymmetric shape with respect to a plane that is orthogonal thereto and situated equidistantly from the actuators.
