Estimating the term…
A device for transporting flexible workpieces comprises one or more carrying brackets for holding the flexible workpieces having a substantially horizontal receiving rod for receiving the workpieces and a clamping lever movably mounted to the receiving rod having a spring connected thereto for biasing the clamping lever into a closed position to hold the workpieces. The clamping lever has an end portion which extends downwardly beyond the receiving rod so that when the carrying bracket is placed on a holding apparatus which has a support surface, the free end of the clamping lever causes the clamping lever to move into an open position, releasing the workpieces.
A device for transporting flexible workpieces for a work station for work on the flexible workpieces, comprising, at least one carrying bracket for holding flexible workpieces having a substantially horizontal receiving rod for receiving the workpieces and a clamping lever movably mounted to the receiving rod for clamping the workpieces to the receiving rod in a closed position of the clamping lever, the clamping lever having a free end portion extending downwardly beyond the receiving rod when the clamping lever is in its closed position, and holding means for holding the carrying bracket, the holding means being attached to the workstation and having a horizontal support surface against which the free end portion bears to move the clamping lever into an open position for unclamping the workpieces on the receiving rod, the holding means including a portion for supporting flexible workpieces of a carrying bracket held by the holding means.
