Abstract

See full text

Discs (7) arranged along a shaft and having holders (8) distributed over the circumference, inclined outwards and intended for workpieces are supported on a ring (5) surrounding the discs (7). Successive rings (5) form an approximately cylindrical cladding which prevents undesired coating of the discs (7). Cladding has openings for the holders (8) of a disc (7) which are uniformly distributed over the circumference at the same height, each formed by an upper recess (14) in the ring (5) carrying the disc (7) and an adjacent lower recess (15) of the following ring. Boundary lines (17) between successive rings (5) start somewhat below the narrowest points of the webs separating adjacent openings, so that the lower recesses (15) do not narrow towards the edge of the ring (5) and the upper recesses (14) narrow at most slightly so that the workpiece carrier can be assembled from bottom to top.
