Abstract

A support frame for continuous conveying installations for flat, thin and bendable objects used in drying tunnels of a tunnel for thermal treatment. The support frame has a shape which causes the object to be bent about an axis which is in a vertical plane extending in axial direction of the conveying installation. As a result, when the object is moved upwardly into an approximately vertical position prior to or during transport, the object is prevented from being deformed about an axis which extends approximately perpendicularly to the axial direction.
