Abstract:

This invention involves a transport system for moving work products through a furnace or kiln. The structure is simple in construction and moves easily along two grooves or channels provided at both sides of the product supporting structure. The supporting structure is a plurality of cross bars resting on a carrier or carriers on each side thereof. The structure resists warping and rapid deterioration generally occuring in prior art structures. It importantly allows uniform heating of the product because of the open atmosphere provided therein.
