Device for deforming sheets of thermoplastics

摘要

The invention relates to a device with which sheets of thermoplastic can be fed from a stack to a conveyor, which then feeds these sheets into the mould station. The sheets are heated and deep drawn by differential pressure with the aid of a mould. A device of this type was to be improved in such a manner that the exact positioning of the individual sheets on the sheet stack and of the sheet stack with respect to the device is no longer necessary. This is especially favourable with the automatic feed of the sheet stack. This is achieved in that the sheet stack is transferred from a removal station into the feeding station by a centering device, precisely positioned thereby and transferred there to a conveyor. The invention is illustrated characteristically by Fig. 2. <IMAGE>
