Abstract
Method for conveying strip materials in a floated manner whereby a strip is allowed to pass between a pair of chambers vertically spaced apart from each other and provided with a plurality of jets or blow-off openings at one surface thereof so that jets of gases are blown therefrom against the strip so as to float the strip. If the strip to be conveyed is of a smaller width, then the width of gases blown from the lower chamber are correspondingly reduced so that a saving of energy required for blowing the gases may be achieved.
