As shown in (b), it is assembled into a transport device (1) containing a narrow glass plate (G).

On the other hand, when transporting a glass plate (G) which is much wider than the width of the unit transporter (2), as shown in FIG. 4, according to the width of the glass plate (G). A plurality of, for example, two unit transporters (2) in the illustrated case;
(2) and the connecting member (3) are prepared. Then, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the unit transporters (2) and (2) are connected by the connecting member (3). The concatenation, as described above,
The left and right vertical aggregates (30) and (30) of the connecting member (3) are fitted to the supporting columns (11) and (11) on the opposite sides of the unit transporters (2) and (2), and each set pin ( 32) through the insertion hole (33). Next, the lower edge of the glass plate (G) is stably supported on both bases (4), and the glass plate (G) is tied to the back supports (5) and (5) with the band (B). Then, the front protective frames (6) and (6) are attached to each of the unit transporters (2) and (2) in the same manner as described above. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1A, the transport device (1) containing the wide glass plate (G) is assembled.

In this manner, the transporter (1) (1) containing the narrow glass plate (G) or the wide glass plate (G)
Is suspended by a fork (f) through an upper connecting member (12) of a back support (5), as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, the hanging tool is put on a hook (22) so as to be suspended, and is used for loading or the like. In the suspended state, as described above, since the upper connecting material (12) and the hook (22) are provided in the transporting device (1) in a state where it is biased forward, the transporting device (11) It is in a vertical state or an inclined state in which the lower side is projected forward as shown by a virtual line in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10,
It is preferable to use a jig (35) in order to stably hold the transporter (1) containing the glass plate (G) in a stable state. This jig (35) pivotally connects the long aggregates (36) and (36) and the short aggregates (37) and (37) at the ends thereof, and forms the distal end of the long aggregates (36) and (36). The upper hooks (38) and (38) are provided at the top, and the lower hooks (39) and (39) are provided at the tips of the short aggregates (37) and (37). The upper hooks (38) and (38) on the side of the long aggregates (36) and (36) are attached to the lower connecting member (13) of the back support (5) of the transporting device (1) in the vertical direction.

In the case of transporting the glass plate (G), the glass plate (G) can be stored in a stable and safe storage state and transported.

In the transportation device (1), the upper end of the back support (5) is projected obliquely upward toward the front, and a connecting member (12) and a hook (22) are provided as hanging portions. In the suspended state in which the glass plate (G) is stored in the transporting tool (1), the transporting tool (1) is held in a vertical state or an inclined state in which the lower end is displaced forward. Therefore, the glass plate (G) can be held in a stable state on the transportation tool (1) in the suspended state, and the glass plate (G) can be prevented from unintentionally falling off, and can be safely suspended and transported. Can be contributed to.

Further, the transporter (1) is a connecting member (3) having a simple structure for connecting the unit transporters (2) and (2).
Therefore, the width of the transport device (1) can be advantageously increased in terms of cost and the like. In addition, since the connection between the connecting member (3) and the unit transporter (2) is made by fitting the channel material (30) and the upper and lower set pins (32), (32), these are constructed with a simple structure. Can be achieved.

Further, the connection between the front protective frame (6) and the back support (5) is performed by using the specially shaped connection fitting (26) as described above.
, The connection can be easily and reliably performed.

[0036] As communication contact member (3), by preparing a connecting member of various width sizes whose widths are different variously,
By simply changing the connecting member (3), it can be used as a transporting device for glass plates of various wide sizes. The transporting device (1) is made of metal, but the material is not particularly limited, and may be wooden.
