Abstract: A heat treating basket which comprises a bottom section having upwardly extending post members provided with first connecting means, upper frame members having second connecting means associated therewith, said bottom section being connected to said upper frame members through the slidable engagement of said first and second connecting means, and lugs provided at the first and second connecting means to prevent the disengagement of the upper frame members from the bottom section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor belt with wire members hinged to one another by means of bars. The members consist of individual chain links which are arranged in succession, transversally to the longitudinal (conveying) direction of the belt, with their longitudinal extension in the longitudinal direction of the belt parallel to and at a distance from one another which is somewhat greater than the thickness of a chain link, and are connected to one another by at least one continuous welded seam.

Abstract: A heat treating basket for receiving objects that are subjected to a heat treatment which comprises a bottom grating (10) the rim of which carries vertical struts (15) projecting in the upwardly direction. The upper ends of the struts are connected by a frame (16). In order to avoid breaks due to different thermal expansions of the bottom grating (10) and the frame (16) the horizontal struts (11,12) of the bottom grating (10) that are positioned in the vicinity of the corners of the heat treating basket are connected with the lower rim (14) of the bottom grating (10) by coupling members (21) which permit a lateral clearance.
