ABSTRACT:
Presented is an apparatus for handling flat panes of plate glass. After manufacture, flat panes of glass are stored in large warehouses prior to distribution to glass distributors and wholesalers. Flat panes of glass are stored standing on edge, with multiple panes making up a "block" in which the individual panes are in close abutting relation to each other. "Blocks" of glass are supported on wood stringers lying flat on a concrete floor, and wood spacer members separate one "block" from the next adjacent "block." The apparatus of this invention includes a steel frame the lower edge of which is provided with adjustable "feet" that project under a "block" of glass and which can separate one or more panes from the "block." After elevating the selected and separated panes of glass above the remaining "block", telescoping fingers mounted on the upper edge of the frame move into position behind the separated panes to retain the separated panes on the frame for movement to a desired location. Adjustable gauges are provided on the frame which can be set to control the number of panes of glass selected to be picked up by the "feet."
