ABSTRACT:
A hood type cover (4) with lifting mechanism is engaged over a crucible (1) with several material pockets (2, 3). By means of the lifting mechanism, the distance between a surface (5) of the crucible and a seal (8) on the cover (4) is varied. The lifting mechanism comprises a track (12) disposed on the wall (16) of the crucible (1). Engaged in this track are guided elements which are connected to the cover and are forcibly guided and moved upon rotary movements of the crucible (1). These guiding elements bring about a pivoting of the cover (4) or a displacement of the cover (4) or of the crucible (1) parallel to the central axis (17) of the crucible (1). This arrangement of the cover (4) permits a safe positioning of the material pockets (2, 3) inside the vacuum chamber of a coating installation.
