  • Support mechanism for heat exchangers in float glass apparatus
    Patent number: 4255180
    Abstract: Support mechanism is affixed to the external structure of a float glass producing facility for mounting heat exchangers above the ribbon of glass as it is formed on the bath of molten metal. The support mechanism includes spaced pairs of rollers between which the heat exchanger is directed for rolling, cantilevered insertion into the enclosed chamber over the glass ribbon. The frame of the mechanism may be pivotally secured to the structure so that when not in use it may be easily removed or swung to an out-of-the-way storage position.
