Description

  The present invention relates to a glass plate holder and a glass plate transport device.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various methods have been proposed for transporting a plate-like glass plate. For example, an apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is disclosed. That is, it has a holder member that is folded in two so as to sandwich the end of the glass plate, and a fixing member that detachably supports the holder member that sandwiches the glass plate. A fitting recess is formed on the upper surface of the fixing member, and a holder member sandwiching the glass plate is inserted into the fitting recess. Thus, the glass plate can be held upright.

International Publication No. 2007/123070

  However, in the above-mentioned apparatus, the angle of the glass plate once held could not be changed. For this reason, if a force in the thickness direction acts on the held glass plate, or if the glass plate is tilted when the glass plate is pulled out from the fitting recess, the glass plate may be broken. The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and can hold a glass plate by a simple operation, and even if an external force acts on the held glass plate, the glass plate is damaged. It is an object of the present invention to provide a glass plate holder capable of preventing the occurrence of the problem.

  The present invention is a glass plate holder for holding a flat glass plate in a vertical position, and at least one clip capable of holding both surfaces of the glass plate, and supporting each of the clips in a vertically movable manner. And at least one support, and a base that movably supports the support.

  According to this configuration, the glass can be sandwiched only by arranging the glass plate so as to sandwich the clip. Further, since the clip is supported by the support, if the glass plate is attached to the clip, the glass plate is supported by the support in a vertical posture. Therefore, the glass plate can be held by a simple operation. Since the support is movably supported on the base, for example, when an external force is applied to the glass plate held by the clip, the support moves with respect to the base together with the clip. The force acting on the plate can be absorbed. Therefore, breakage of the glass plate can be prevented. It should be noted that the “vertical posture” in the present invention does not indicate perfect vertical, but allows some inclination.

  The method of supporting the support on the base is not particularly limited. For example, in the glass plate holder, the support and the base are connected to each other at at least two support portions that are separated in a surface direction of the held glass plate, and the support member is provided at each of the support portions. The glass plate can be movably supported at least in the thickness direction of the glass plate. This allows the support to move in different directions at the two separate support portions, so that the support can be rotated with respect to the base. Therefore, even if an external force such as twisting the glass plate acts, it can be absorbed.

  In order to perform such an operation, for example, in the above-mentioned glass plate holder, the base has at least two separated through holes, and the support has at least two separated engaging portions. And each said engaging part is arrange | positioned in each said through-hole, the said support part is comprised, and each said engaging part can be made to be movable in the said through-hole. .

  The glass plate holder may further include a shaft member extending in a direction of the vertical position of the glass plate and rotatably connecting the support and the base. Thus, the support can be rotated with respect to the base.

  In the glass plate holder, the support may be tiltable with respect to the base around an axis extending in a surface direction of the glass plate. Thus, the support can be inclined with respect to the base.

  The glass plate holder may further include an elastic member for urging the clip upward. Thereby, the impact when the glass plate is arranged on the clip can be reduced by the elastic member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the glass plate from being damaged by an impact when the glass plate is placed.

  In the glass plate holder, the clip can be supported by the support so as to be movable in a thickness direction of the glass plate. In this way, when the glass plate held by the glass plate holder is subjected to a force in the thickness direction, the glass plate can be moved in the thickness direction, so that the impact due to the received force is reduced. Can be. Therefore, breakage of the glass plate can be further prevented.

  In the above glass plate holder, the clip has a first holding member having a first abutting portion abutting on the glass plate from one surface, and a second abutting portion abutting on the glass plate from the other surface. And a fulcrum for rotatably supporting the first holding member and the second holding member with respect to each other. The support is configured such that the clip moves downward. Therefore, it is possible to have a pressing portion that presses at least one of the holding members so that the distance between the first contact portion and the second contact portion is reduced.

  With this configuration, by disposing the glass plate between the first holding member and the second holding member of the clip, the clip moves downward due to the weight of the glass plate, and accordingly, the pressing portion of the support body is moved. The clip is pressed so as to reduce the distance between the first contact portion and the second contact portion of the clip. Thus, the glass plate can be reliably held on the holder by a very simple operation.

  In the above-mentioned glass plate holder, the glass plate may be a glass plate for automobiles. Since the glass plate can be easily held, a large-sized windshield or the like can be loaded without being damaged. In addition, since it can be easily removed from the holder, it can be carried into an automated automobile manufacturing line while being held by the holder.

  In the above-mentioned glass plate holder, a molding is attached to at least a part of a peripheral portion of the glass plate, and the clip has a mounting portion on which the glass plate is mounted. It can be configured to support an edge of the glass to which the molding is attached. With this configuration, the glass plate is supported at the edge of the glass on the support surface of the clip. That is, the weight of the glass plate acts on the glass edge, and does not act on the molding attached to the glass periphery. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the molding from being damaged or deformed by receiving an external force.

  Further, the glass plate transporting device according to the present invention includes at least one of the above-described glass plate holders.

  According to the glass plate holder and the glass plate transport device according to the present invention, the glass plate can be held by a simple operation, and even if an external force acts on the held glass plate, the glass plate is damaged. Can be prevented.

A base 22 extending so as to cover the one edge portion 13. The base 22 has a U-shaped cross section at an end on the side where the bonding portion 21 is provided, that is, an end on the second surface 12 side of the glass plate 1, and has an elastically deformable mounting portion. 23 are connected. The opening 231 of the U-shaped mounting portion 23 faces the first surface 11 side of the glass plate 1 and engages with a member to be mounted of an automobile to be mounted.

<2. Glass plate holder>
Next, the glass plate holder will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 is a front view of the glass plate holder, FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a front view of the clip. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the glass plate holder 3 includes a clip 4 for holding the glass plate 1, a support 6 for supporting the same, and a base 7 for supporting the support 6. Have. A spring (elastic member) 5 is attached to the lower end of the clip 4, and the clip 4 is urged upward by the spring 5. Hereinafter, each member will be described.

<2.1 Clip>
As shown in FIG. 4, the clip 4 includes a first holding member 41 facing the first surface 11 of the glass plate 1 and a second holding member 42 facing the second surface 12 of the glass plate 1. . Both of the holding members 41 and 42 are formed in a rectangular plate shape, and a surface of the first holding member 41 facing the second holding member 42 constitutes a first holding surface (first contact portion) 410. The surface of the second holding member 42 facing the first holding member 41 constitutes a second holding surface (second contact portion) 420. That is, as described later, the glass plate 1 is held between the first holding surface and the second holding surface. At the lower end of the first holding member 41, a cylindrical shaft fixing portion 411 extending in the horizontal direction along the edge of the first holding member 41 is formed. The (engaging member) 43 is rotatably inserted (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The shaft 43 is engaged with the support 6 as described later.

  In the first holding member 41, a shaft-like fulcrum 412 extending in the horizontal direction along the first holding surface 410 is attached above the shaft fixing portion 411. The fulcrum portion 412 is formed in a circular cross section, and is attached to the first holding surface 410 via a connecting portion 413 having a width smaller than its diameter. Further, a step portion (mounting portion) 414 extending in the horizontal direction is formed above the fulcrum portion 412 on the first holding surface 410. The upper end of the first holding member 41 is curved outward in a direction away from the second holding member 42.

  Next, the second holding member 42 will be described. A fixing portion 421 having a U-shaped cross section is provided at a lower end portion of the second holding member 42 so as to engage with the fulcrum portion 412 of the first holding member 41. More specifically, the fixing portion 421 is formed such that the U-shaped opening 4211 faces the first holding member 41 side and extends in the horizontal direction. The fulcrum 412 of the first holding member is fitted into the fixed portion 421 so as to be rotatable around the axis. Thus, the holding members 41 and 42 are rotatably connected to each other with the fulcrum 412 as a fulcrum, and the distance between the holding members 41 and 42 that are open upward can be increased or decreased.

  Above the fixing portion 421 of the second holding member 42, a bulging portion 423 which is formed to be thick and bulges toward the first holding member 41 is formed. Thereby, a concave portion is formed between the fixing portion 421 and the bulging portion 423, and the mounting portion 23 of the molding 2 is accommodated in the concave portion as described later. A cushion member 422 such as urethane is disposed below the concave portion and on the upper surface of the fixing portion 421, and functions as a buffer member for the molding 2 of the glass plate 1 sandwiched between the clips 4. In addition, the center of gravity of the second holding member 42 is located on the surface of the bulging portion 423 opposite to the first holding member 41. As a result, if no external force acts on the second holding member 42, the second holding member 42 swings away from the first holding member 41 by the action of the center of gravity. The upper end of the second holding member 42 is curved outward in a direction away from the first holding member 41.

<2.2 Support>
Next, the support 6 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support body 6 includes a pair of support plates 61 that are opposed to each other, a pair of cylindrical guide bars 63 and a pair of cylindrical support bars that connect the support plates 61. 651, 652 and a cylindrical shaft 43 extending between the support plates 61. Since both support plates 61 have the same configuration, the support plate shown in FIG. 2 will be described below.

  Each support plate 61 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape and, as shown in FIG. 3, is disposed outside an upright plate 72 of the base 7 described later. A recess 611 is formed at the upper end of the support plate 61. The concave portion 611 has an upper end opened upward and extends in the up-down direction. The glass plate 1 supported by the clip 4 is inserted into the concave portion 611 as described later. Further, a pair of protrusions 618 are formed on both inner edges of the upper end of the concave portion 611 so as to face each other, and the width at the upper end of the concave portion 611 is reduced. Then, below the protrusion 618, the width of the concave portion 611 is widened to have a constant width. In the support plate 61, a slot-shaped guide groove 612 extending vertically is formed below the recess 611. A horizontal groove 613 extending in the horizontal direction is formed at the lower end of the guide groove 612, and communicates with the guide groove 612. Both ends of the shaft 43 inserted into the shaft fixing portion 411 of the clip 4 described above are engaged with the guide groove 612. Accordingly, the clip 4 moves up and down with respect to the support 6 as the shaft 43 moves up and down along the guide groove 612.

  The pair of guide bars (pressing portions) 63 described above are attached to both sides near the upper end of the concave portion 611 formed in the support plate 61, respectively. The two guide bars 63 extend so as to connect the opposing support plates 61, and the clip 4 is arranged between the two guide bars 63. In the initial state where the glass plate 1 is not held, the guide bar 63 is adjusted so as to be arranged at a position slightly higher than the fulcrum 412 of the clip 4. The clip 4 moves up and down between the guide bars 63, and the holding members 41 and 42 swing with each other.

A pair of protrusions formed in a semicircular shape are formed on both sides of the support plate 61. Here, the protrusion formed on the left side of the support plate 61 is referred to as a first protrusion 641, and the protrusion formed on the right side of the support plate 61 is referred to as a second protrusion 642. The first protrusion 641 is formed at substantially the same position as the upper end of the guide groove 612 in the vertical direction of the support plate 61. The above-described support bar 651 is connected to the first protrusion 641, and the two support plates 61 are also connected by the support bar 651. Hereinafter, this support bar is referred to as a first support bar 651. A semicircular recess 66 is formed on the right side of the support plate 61 at a position corresponding to the first protrusion 641. On the other hand, the second protruding portion 642 is formed at the same position as the horizontal groove 613 below the recessed portion 66 in the vertical direction of the support plate 61. That is, the first and second projecting portions 641 and 642 are formed at different positions in the vertical direction. The above-mentioned support bar 652 is connected to the second projecting portion 642, and the two support plates 61 are also connected by the support bar 652. Hereinafter, this support bar is referred to as a second support bar 652.
<2.3 Base>
Next, the base 7 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the base 7 includes a substrate 71 formed in a rectangular shape and extending in the horizontal direction, and a pair of upright plates 72 standing from both sides of the substrate 71 facing each other. Hereinafter, the upright plate 72 will be described. Since the upright plates 72 have the same configuration, the upright plate 72 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. Each upright plate 72 is formed in a trapezoidal shape, and a notch 721 is formed at the upper end. The notch 721 has an upper end opening upward and extending in the vertical direction, and is a region through which the above-described shaft body 43 passes. In the upright plate 72, a pair of circular through holes are formed on both sides of the notch 721. Here, the left through hole in FIG. 2 is referred to as a first through hole 772, and the right through hole is referred to as a second through hole 773. The first through hole 772 is arranged near the upper end of the upright plate 72, and the first support bar 651 of the support 6 is inserted therethrough. However, the first through hole 772 has an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the first support bar 651, and the first support bar 651 can move up, down, left, and right within the first through hole 772. I have. On the other hand, the second through hole 773 is formed in the vicinity of the middle of the upright plate 72 in the vertical direction, and the second support bar 652 of the support 6 is inserted therethrough. However, the second through-hole 773 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the second support bar 652, and the second support bar 652 can move up, down, left and right within the second through-hole 773.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a spring 5 is arranged between the upper surface of the substrate 71 of the base 7 and the lower end of the clip 4. As a result, the clip 4 is urged upward, but as described above, since the shaft 43 attached to the clip 4 is engaged with the guide groove 612 of the support 6, the shaft 43 is By contacting the upper end of the groove 612, the upward movement of the clip 4 is restricted.

<3 How to hold the glass plate>
Subsequently, a method of holding the glass plate 1 by the glass plate holder 3 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 2, when the glass plate 1 is not held, the clip 4 is urged upward by a spring 5. And since most of the clip 4 is arranged at a position higher than the guide bar 63, the second holding member 42 does not receive much restriction from the guide bar 63, and the first holding member 42 works by the action of the center of gravity. It rotates so as to be separated from 41, and the gap between both holding members 41 and 42 is widened. This makes it easier to insert the glass plate 1 between the sandwiching members 41 and 42.

  Next, the edge 13 of the glass plate 1 to which the molding 2 is attached is turned downward, and the orientation is adjusted so that the first surface 11 of the glass plate 1 faces the first holding member 41. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the glass plate 1 is placed between the sandwiching members 41 and 42 so that the corner of the edge 13 on the first surface 11 side is placed on the step portion 414 of the first sandwiching member 41. Insert When the edge 13 is placed on the step 414 of the first holding member 41, the weight of the glass plate 1 pushes the first holding member 41 downward, whereby the clip 4 is lowered downward against the spring 5. To go. At this time, the two holding members 41 and 42 move downward between the two guide bars 63. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the two holding members 41 and 42 can pass through the gap between the guide bars 63. As described above, while being pressed by the guide bar 63, it rotates downward to narrow the gap and descends downward. Thus, the glass plate 1 is sandwiched and fixed between the sandwiching members 41 and 42. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the clip 4 moves downward until the shaft 43 contacts the lower end of the guide groove 612. In addition, since the concave portion 611 is formed in the support plate 61, even if the glass plate 1 is longer than the distance between the support plates 61, the glass plate 1 is inserted into the concave portion 611 and interferes with the support 6. Never. This is the same for the base 7, and the notch 721 is formed in the base 7, so that the glass plate 1 and the base 7 do not interfere with each other.

  When the clip 4 is arranged at the lowermost position in this manner, the vicinity of the upper ends of the sandwiching members 41 and 42 is pressed by the guide bar 63, the gap therebetween is narrowed, and the glass plate 1 is firmly held. At this time, since the glass plate 1 is supported by the step portion 414 of the first holding member 41, the mounting portion 23 of the molding 2 only slightly presses the cushion member 422, and Is not supported. Therefore, in this embodiment, the glass plate 1 can be supported without applying a force to the mounting portion 23. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mounting portion 23 from being deformed by an external force.

  When a force in the thickness direction acts on the glass plate 1 in this state, the lower end of the clip 4 swings in the horizontal direction, as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when a force F1 acts on the glass plate 1, the clip 4 swings around the guide bar 63 as a fulcrum, and a shaft attached to the lower end of the clip 4. 43 moves in the horizontal direction S1 along the horizontal groove 613 connected to the lower end of the guide groove 612. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 8B, when a force F2 acts on the glass plate 1, the clip 4 swings around the guide bar 63 as a fulcrum, and the shaft 43 moves along the horizontal groove 613. To move in the horizontal direction S2. Thereby, the force applied to the glass plate 1 in the thickness direction can be released, and the force acting on the glass plate 1 can be reduced.

  When the force in the thickness direction further acts on the glass plate 1 from the state shown in FIG. 8, the support 6 is configured to move with respect to the base 7 as shown in FIG. I have. As described above, the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 of the support 6 can move in the first through-hole 772 and the second pipe through-hole 773 of the base 7, and therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8A, when a rightward force F1 is further applied to the glass plate 1 from the state of FIG. 8A, the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 are respectively moved to the second position. It moves to the right in the first through hole 772 and the second pipe through hole 773 (arrow K1). That is, the support 6 moves to the right with respect to the base 7 together with the glass plate 1. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9B, when a further leftward force F2 acts on the glass plate 1 from the state of FIG. 8B, the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 become: The support 6 moves in the direction of arrow K2, and the support 6 moves to the left with respect to the base 7 together with the glass plate 1. Therefore, the force applied to the glass plate 1 in the thickness direction can be further released, and the force acting on the glass plate 1 can be further reduced. The support 6 is movable with respect to the base 7 within a range in which both end portions of the support bars 651 and 652 can move within the through holes 772 and 773. On the other hand, it is also possible to move up and down.

  Furthermore, since both ends of the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 of the support 6 are respectively inserted into different upright plates 72 of the single base 7, one of the first through holes 772 and the second It is possible to move in different directions inside the pipe through hole 773 and inside the other first through hole 772 and inside the second pipe through hole 773. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a plan view of FIG. 10 to 12, illustration of a glass plate is omitted.

  When a counterclockwise twist is applied to the glass plate 1 from the initial state shown in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 11, one end of the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 (upper side in FIG. 11) Of the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 (the lower end in FIG. 11) move to the right. Similarly, when a clockwise twist is applied to the glass plate 1, one end (upper end in FIG. 12) of the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 becomes right as shown in FIG. The other end of the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 (the lower end in FIG. 12) moves to the left. Thus, even if the clockwise or counterclockwise twist in plan view is applied to the glass plate 1, the glass plate 1 rotates together with the clip 4 and the support 6 with respect to the base 7. 1 can be further reduced.

  Then, to remove the glass plate 1 from the holder 3, the glass plate 1 may be pulled up. As a result, the weight of the glass plate 1 acting on the clip 4 is removed, and the clip 4 is urged upward by the spring 5. When most of the clip 4 is located above the guide bar 63, the second holding member 42 swings away from the first holding member 41 by the action of the center of gravity. As a result, the holding state of the glass plate 1 by the holding members 41 and 42 is released, and the glass plate 1 can be detached from the clip 4. At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the concave portion 611 of the support plate 61 has a wide lower portion, so that the glass plate 1 is easily pulled out. For example, when the glass plate 1 is pulled upward from the state shown in FIG. 7, the clip 4 bites into the glass plate 1, and the holding state of the glass plate 1 is maintained without the two holding members 41 and 42 being loosened well. Sometimes. However, if the width below the concave portion 611 is widened, the lower portion of the glass plate 1 or the molding 2 fitted in the concave portion can be moved right and left in the concave portion, and the holding shape by the two holding members 41 and 42 can be obtained. Can relax the body. Therefore, for example, the holding state can be released only by slightly moving the glass plate in the F1 and F2 directions in FIG.

<4 Features>
As described above, according to the present embodiment, by disposing the glass plate 1 between the first holding member 41 and the second holding member 42 of the clip 4, the glass plate 1 can be held by the clip 4. it can. Further, since the clip 4 is supported by the support 6, if the glass plate 1 is attached to the clip 4, the glass plate 1 is supported by the support 6 in a vertical posture. Therefore, the glass plate 1 can be held by a simple operation. Further, since the clip 4 is urged upward by the spring 5, the impact when the glass plate 1 is disposed on the clip 4 can be reduced by the spring 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the glass plate 1 from being damaged by an impact when the glass plate 1 is placed.

  Further, since the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 of the support 6 can move in the first through hole 772 and the second pipe through hole 773 of the base 7, the support 6 is 7 can be moved. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when a force acts in the thickness direction of the glass plate 1, the support 6 is inclined with respect to the base 7. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, when a force that twists the glass plate 1 is applied, the support 6 rotates with respect to the base 7. Further, since the first support bar 651 and the second support bar 652 can move in the vertical direction within the first through hole 772 and the second pipe through hole 773 of the base 7, for example, When a force acts at the time of pulling out at one end in the plane direction, only one of the support plates 61 moves upward. As described above, since the support 6 moves with respect to the base 7 in accordance with the direction of the force acting on the glass sheet 1, the force acting on the glass sheet 1 can be absorbed. As a result, the glass plate can be prevented from being damaged.

<5 Modifications>
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said Embodiment, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning. For example, the following changes are possible.

<5.1>
In the above-described embodiment, the clip 4 can be operated in the thickness direction of the glass plate 1 with respect to the support 6, but it is not necessary to operate in this direction. That is, the support 6 may be configured to move only with respect to the base 7.

In the above embodiment, the support 6 is constituted by the pair of support plates 61 and the plurality of bars 63, 651, 652 connecting the support plates 61, but can support the clip 3 and is supported by the base 7. The form of the support 6 is not particularly limited as long as it is possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the support 6 may be formed in a U-shaped cross section like the base 7. Then, the clip 4 and the bottom surface of the support 6 are connected by the spring 5, and the bottom surface of the support 6 and the substrate 71 of the base 7 are connected by a shaft member 80 extending in the up-down direction. 7 can be rotatably connected. By doing so, the support 6 can be rotated with respect to the base 7 as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, and as a result, the torsional force on the glass plate can be absorbed.

  Alternatively, after the support 6 is formed in a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 13, the lower end of the support plate 61 of the support 6 is attached to the upright plate 72 of the base 7 as shown in FIGS. Is rotatably fixed to the shaft member 90. Thereby, the support 6 can rotate around the shaft member 90, and when the force acts in the thickness direction of the glass plate 1, the support 6 can be inclined with respect to the base 7. As a result, the force on the glass plate can be absorbed. In this example, the support 6 is disposed inside the base 7 as shown in FIG. 15, but in FIG. 14, the base 7 is described with broken lines for convenience of explanation.

For example, in the above embodiment, the second holding member 42 rotates so as to be separated from the first holding member 41 by the action of the center of gravity, but in addition to this, before the glass plate 1 is placed on the clip 4. In this state, for example, the holding members 41 and 42 may be configured to be pushed out by a spring or the like.

<5.5>
In the above-described embodiment, the two holding members 41 and 42 are sandwiched by the guide bar 63 and pressed so that the distance between them is reduced. However, members and portions that can be pressed so that the distance between them are reduced are provided on the support. If it is, there is no particular limitation.

<5.6>
In the above embodiment, the clip 4 is movable in the horizontal direction by the horizontal groove 613, but other configurations may be used as long as the clip 4 is supported by the support 6 so as to be movable in the horizontal direction.

<5.7>
In the above embodiment, the clip is urged by using the spring 5, but any elastic member other than the spring 5 may be used as long as it can urge the clip 4 upward.

<5.8>
The clip 4 only needs to be able to clamp the glass plate 1 and may be such that the distance between the clamping surfaces 410 and 420 does not change. Further, a cushion member may be provided on the step (mounting portion) 414 of the first holding member 41.

<5.9>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where a glass plate for a vehicle with a molding is held has been described. However, it is obvious that a glass plate having no other molding can be held.

<5.10>
In the glass plate holder 3 of the above embodiment, one support 6 is attached to the base 7, but a plurality of supports 6 can be attached. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the base 7 may be formed to be long, and a plurality of supports 6 to which the clips 4 are attached may be attached. Thereby, a plurality of glass plates 1 can be supported. When a plurality of supports 6 are attached to the base 7 as described above, the distance between the adjacent supports 6 must be shortened. In this embodiment, the following configuration is adopted. That is, the first protrusion 641 provided on the left side of the support plate 6 fits into the recess 66 provided on the right side of the adjacent support plate 6, and the second protrusion 642 provided on the right side of the support plate 6. However, since it fits in the space below the first protrusion 641 of the adjacent support plate 6, the distance between the adjacent support members 6 can be shortened. The number of the supports 6 attached to one base 7 is not particularly limited.

<5.11>
Further, it is possible to manufacture a glass plate transporting device having the glass plate holder 3 capable of supporting such a plurality of glass plates. FIG. 17 is a front view of such a glass sheet conveying apparatus, and FIG. 18 is a plan view of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the glass plate transport device includes a substrate 81 formed in a rectangular shape and a pair of side plates 82 rising from both sides of the substrate 81. Casters 83 are mounted. Supports 84 are provided on the substrate 81 near the side plates 82, respectively. Each support base 84 is a member extending in one direction along the side plate 82, and the upper surface is inclined obliquely downward toward the center side of the substrate 81 (the left and right centers in FIG. 17). The glass plate holder 3 having the plurality of supports 6 shown in FIG. 16 is arranged on the upper surface of each support base 84.

  According to this configuration, one glass plate 1 is supported by the clips 4 of the pair of glass plate holders 3. In this example, since the lower side of the glass plate 1 is curved downward, the upper surface of the support base 84 is formed diagonally, and the glass plate holder 3 is inclined. Thereby, since the clip 4 of each glass plate holder 3 is vertically mounted on the lower surface of the glass plate 1, the glass plate 1 can be stably held. Since the plurality of clips 4 are arranged on the glass plate holder 3, the plurality of glass plates 1 can be held in parallel at predetermined intervals.

  In addition, a plurality of partition members 85 are arranged in two rows between the support bases 84 at predetermined intervals along the support bases 84. Each partition member 85 is formed in a bar shape extending upward. And each partition member 85 is arrange | positioned between the adjacent glass plates 1, and by these partition members 85, the adjacent glass plate 1 is prevented from contacting.

  A plurality of glass plates 1 can be transferred by the glass plate transfer device as described above. The configuration of the glass plate transport device is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the glass plate holder 3 is mounted on the substrate 81 and the upper surface thereof. The substrate 81 may be provided with a moving mechanism such as a caster 83, or may have a pallet shape that can be transported by a forklift or the like instead of the moving mechanism. The number of glass plate holders 3 for holding one glass plate 1 may be other than two, or may be one or three or more. When the support base 84 is provided, the upper surface may be a horizontal surface depending on the type of the glass plate 1. In this case, the support base 84 need not be provided. Further, the partition member 85 is not always necessary, and a separate buffer member can be provided. Further, in addition to providing a plurality of clips 4 on one glass plate holder 3 on the substrate 81, a plurality of glass plate holders 3 can be arranged.
