Locking slide, useful for a float glass production plant, comprises a base part, which forms a glass guide portion on its bottom and exhibits inert gas channel communicating with the surroundings via inert gas outlet openings

摘要

Locking slide (10) comprises a base part (11), which forms a glass guide portion (13) on its bottom, where the base part exhibits at least one inert gas channel (20), which communicate with the surroundings via inert gas outlet openings (36) in a spatial connection. An independent claim is also included for applying at least a partial area of a locking slide by inert gas, comprising supplying inert gas to at least one inert gas channel of the locking slide, and discharging the inert gas in the surface region of the locking slide.
