Abrégé

The subject matter of the invention is a device for the precise positionally accurate transport of sensitive hot glassware. Provided for this is a transporting system, which comprises a transporting belt (10), on which the glassware can be arranged. The transporting belt (10) has openings (11), which allow an air and temperature exchange between the surroundings and the glassware located on the transporting belt (10). The invention then provides that the openings (11) are formed as elongated holes (13) arranged longitudinally or transversely in relation to the transporting direction (12) of the transporting belt (10). These elongated holes (13) are arranged in the transporting belt (10) in such a way that the flow of heat within the material of the transporting belt (10) is not hindered or interrupted by these openings (11), but instead the flow of heat can take place unhindered both in the longitudinal direction (21) and in the transverse direction (22) of the transporting belt (10) (Figure 2).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a device (10) for the precise transport of objects, in particular of glass articles in heated spaces such as furnace installations. Here, a transport belt (11) is provided, on which the objects can be arranged, while the transport belt (11) is driven by laterally arranged chains (hereinafter referred to as drive chains 14) and is arranged in cantilevered fashion on said chains. The invention now proposes that the transport belt (11) has at least one central support (20) which supports the transport belt (11) from below against the base (13) of the device (10), wherein the central support (20) absorbs or prevents oscillations and/or vibrations that can be caused by the movement of the transport belt (11).

Abrégé

The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for the surface treatment of glass articles (30), in particular of articles composed of flat glass. Here, the apparatus (10) has a process chamber (11) which comprises an interior chamber (13) in which the glass articles (30) can be sprayed with a spray medium (20). Here, in each case those surfaces of the glass articles (30) which are to be treated are sprayed with the corresponding spray medium (20). The invention now proposes that the process chamber (11) comprises a thermally insulated housing (12) in which the spray device (23) for spraying the spray medium (20) is arranged. Furthermore, in the process chamber (11), there is provided a heating device (14) which heats the process chamber (11) to a desired temperature. The heating device (14) is in the shape of a lance-like burner beam (5). The invention also encompasses a method for the treatment of surfaces of glass articles (30), which method is performed by means of the above-described apparatus (10).
