Abstract

La présente invention concerne une cassette de logement de plaque pour loger une pluralité de plaques (B) dans un châssis rectangulaire (1) de manière à ce que les plaques (B) soient agencées en position redressée et en parallèle, et que la surface des plaques (B) soit parallèle aux deux surfaces du châssis (1). Non seulement une plaque (B) peut entrer, sortir, ou être facilement transportée, mais elle peut également être moins à même d'endommager l'élément support de plaque (B) de la cassette, et de provoquer des fissures ou des éclats sur le bord inférieur de la plaque (B), même lorsque la plaque (B) est un substrat ou un panneau plus lourd et plus grand. La cassette comprend spécifiquement : un groupe de rouleaux (2), pour recevoir la partie inférieure d'une plaque, disposé sur le côté inférieur du châssis rectangulaire (1) ; un groupe de rouleaux (3), pour limiter la partie inférieure d'une plaque, disposé sur le côté inférieur du châssis rectangulaire (1) et à une position plus élevée que la position où sont disposés les rouleaux (2) ; et un groupe de rouleaux (4), pour limiter la partie supérieure de la plaque, disposé au milieu du côté supérieur du châssis (1). La plaque (B) peut ainsi être supportée sur trois points.
