AIR BLOWOUT STRUCTURE AND AIR BLOWOUT UNIT FOR AIR-FLOATING CONVEYOR APPARATUS, AND AIR-FLOATING CONVEYOR APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME

摘要

Provided is an air blowout structure for an air-floating conveyor apparatus, which can be easily maintained. The air blowout structure for the air-floating conveyor apparatus conveys a glass substrate (4) as a thin plate by floating it pneumatically. The air blowout structure comprises a woven wire gauge (3) arranged in the highest portion of the structure, and a reinforcing member (2) having a porosity and arranged below the woven wire gauge (3). This woven wire gauge (3) can be exemplified by a plain-woven wire gauge, a twilled wire gauge, a plain-woven mat wire gauge or a twilled mat wire gauge. Moreover, the reinforcing member (2) has a single- or multi-layer structure.
