Abstract
The invention relates to a device for detecting sheets of glass. An essentially mechanical device constituted by a detector finger which is tilted by the leading edge of a sheet of glass, then concealed by the action of a jack to allow the sheet of glass to pass. The tilting movement is registered by a pick-up located remotely from the conveyor. The invention is directed especially at the detection of sheets of glass being carried inside an enclosed space which is at a high temperature.
