Abstract
A device for machining a glass plate (5) is provided with a lifting element (10,11) which is used to lift the glass plate (5) from a transport device (3) located on a lower edge of a supporting wall (1), during the machining process. The lifting element (10,11) includes lifting fingers (10) provided with clips (15) which can be applied to the lower horizontal edge (7) of the glass plate (5), in order to positively connect the lifting element (10,11) to the glass plate (5). Both a drive for lifting and lowering the lifting element and a drive for horizontally displacing the same are associated with the lifting element (10,11), such that the glass plate (5) can be displaced during the machining process, without slipping and without any time delay.
Claims19
Device for working of glass sheets (5) with a support wall (1) and a conveyor means (3) which is provided on the lower edge of the support wall and on which a glass sheet (5) stands upright with its lower horizontal edge while it is leaning on the support wall (1), characterized in that a lifting means (10, 11) which can be fixed on the glass sheet (5) is assigned to the lower edge of the support wall (1), that the lifting means (10, 11) can be raised out of the readiness position which is underneath the conveyor means (3) into an action position which is raised relative to the conveyor means (3), and wherein the lifting means (10, 11) is assigned a drive for moving the lifting means (10, 11) in at least one direction (arrow 13) in the plane of the support wall (1).
