Abstract
For transporting sealed insulating glass panes having glass plates (1,1') of different sizes, a conveying device is provided having hook-like carrying elements (23) with pressure jaws (4) and supports (3) for the smaller glass plate (1) and pressure jaws (25) and supports (26), attached to separate conveyor chains (14') and (27), for the larger glass plate (1') projecting beyond the smaller glass plate (1). The conveyor chain (27) with the supports (26) is adjustable with respect to its height so that the pressure jaws (4) and (25) engage, independently of the overhang of the larger glass plate (1'), in all cases in the zone of a spacer frame between the glass plates (1,1').
Claims10
In a device for conveying on edge insulating glass panes each comprised by two different-size glass plates (1, 1') having an edge joint therebetween filled at least in part with a filling compound (2), the device comprising supports (3, 26, 40) engaging lower edges of the glass plates (1, 1') of the insulating glass panes, and lateral prop means (7, 31, 43) for the insulating glass panes;
- the improvement wherein the supports (3, 26, 40) on at least one side of the insulating glass pane are adjustable independently of the supports (3, 26, 40) on the other side of the insulating glass pane in a substantially vertical direction parallel to the plane of the insulating glass pane and the supports (3, 26, 40) on one side of the glass pane are lower than the supports (3, 26, 40) on the opposite side of the glass pane.
