Abstract
Abstract This is a device for receiving e.g. window frames in an approximately vertical position, tilting them and maintaining them fixed in a desired horizontal or inclined position for working thereon. The device comprises a pair of vertical supports provided with aligned bearing means in which a horizontal shaft connecting them to each other is clamped for longitudinal and axial adjustment. On the shaft are in turn adjustably clamped two transverse beams each carrying an elongated suction member having in its upper face a recess connected to a suction pump. Each transverse beam further had adjustably clamped thereon at one end an abutment tube extending beyond the upper surface of the respective suction member, and at its opposite end a leg by which the transverse beam is rested on the floor when in a horizontal position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A device for supporting and handling panel or frame shaped articles comprising in combination a pair of supports, means for positioning said supports in mutual alignment at an adjustable distance from each other, a shaft horizontally supported by said supports, a pair of beams each extending across said shaft at right angles thereto and mounted thereon for rotation about the axis of said shaft, for transverse displacement along said shaft and for lengthwise displacement across said shaft and arrestable in their position relative to said shaft, a pair of elongated suction members each supported by one of said beams and having a supporting surface for said panel or frame shaped objEcts and a recess in said surface, a source of vacuum and means for connecting thereto said recess of each of said suction members, said supports having each a horizontal bearing formed therein, the said bearings formed in the two supports being in alignment with each other, said shaft being rotatably supported in said bearings, and means for clamping said shaft in each of said bearings against rotation and axial displacement therein.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
182 words
A device for supporting and handling panel or frame shaped articles comprising in combination a pair of supports, means for positioning said supports in mutual alignment at an adjustable distance from each other, a shaft horizontally supported by said supports, a pair of beams each extending across said shaft at right angles thereto and mounted thereon for rotation about the axis of said shaft, for transverse displacement along said shaft and for lengthwise displacement across said shaft and arrestable in their position relative to said shaft, a pair of elongated suction members each supported by one of said beams and having a supporting surface for said panel or frame shaped objEcts and a recess in said surface, a source of vacuum and means for connecting thereto said recess of each of said suction members, said supports having each a horizontal bearing formed therein, the said bearings formed in the two supports being in alignment with each other, said shaft being rotatably supported in said bearings, and means for clamping said shaft in each of said bearings against rotation and axial displacement therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 comprising on each of said beams an abutment member adjustably fixed thereto and extending therefrom beyond said supporting surface of the respective suction member for laterally positioning said objects thereon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 comprising on each of said beams a leg adjustably fixed thereto and extending therefrom away from the respective suction member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein a lateral slot is formed in said support extending outwards from said bearing, said means for clamping said shaft comprising a screw-threaded element extending across said slot.
