Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a support mechanism for supporting a cover that performs sealing of a furnace opening of a heat treatment furnace or release the sealing by being moved up or down by an elevating unit. The support mechanism includes a first elastic body having a first elastic modulus; and a second elastic body having a second elastic modulus larger than the first elastic modulus. A reaction force in relation to the first elastic body is applied to the cover when the cover abuts on the furnace opening by being moved up by the elevating unit, and a reaction force in relation to the first elastic body and the second elastic body is applied to the cover after the cover abuts on the furnace opening by being moved up by the elevating unit.
