ABSTRACT:
A glass sheet handling apparatus for horizontally receiving a glass sheet from a roller conveyor and placing the sheet vertically on a pyramidal conveying shelf comprising a discharging platform at the end of the conveyor to receive a glass sheet; an angular member having a first end pivotally joined to the platform and a second end pivotally anchored to a support structure; a fluid operated cylinder and piston assembly having its cylinder pivotally anchored to the support structure and its piston pivotally joined the angular member; and a controller to control the operation of the fluid operated cylinder and piston assembly, so that when the piston is actuated, it lifts the angular arm and the discharging platform with the glass sheet thereon, from a horizontal position through a path defining an arc to a vertical position, thereby vertically positioning the glass sheet on the pyramidal conveying shelf. Alternatively, a motor-driven rack and pinion or other mechanical devices can be used to lift the angular member.
