摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a barrier and to a continuous annealing furnace comprising a barrier. The barrier (10) comprises at least a frame (36, 37), a actuating element (18), a gate (12), a first lever (14) being pivoted at said frame (36, 37) on a first rotational axis (20) and a second lever (16) being pivoted at said frame (36, 37) on a second rotational axis (21). Said gate (12) and said actuating element (18) are hinged at said first lever (14) opposite said first rotational axis (20) as well as said gate (12). and said actuating element (18) are hinged at said second lever (16) opposite said second rotational axis (21) for moving said gate (12) in a moving direction (68) by actuating said actuating element (18). In accordance with the invention said first and second lever (14, 16) are arranged axially symmetrical in respect to said moving direction (68) at said frame (36, 37). The continuous annealing furnace (26) comprises at least two muffles (28, 30) being connected by an intermediate module (32). Said intermediated module comprises said barrier (10) for isolating a gap (34) constructed in said intermediate module (32).</p> |
