  • Patent number: 5564558
    Abstract: A conveyor belt comprising a series of belt links arranged in superimposed successive overlapping relation secured together by interlocking belt link fasteners and apertures, combined with heat protection barriers to protect the belt from contacting high temperature materials that are transported. The barriers interlock with the links of the belt forming a surface which contacts the high temperature materials.

  • Patent number: 5474403
    Abstract: A mounting device for anchoring a machine element having a tapered bore coaxially upon a rotary shaft. The device fits between the interior tapered bore of the machine element and the cylindrical surface of the shaft and is effective to position the element at any desired position longitudinally of the shaft and at any angular position circumferentially of the shaft. The device has inner and outer segmented sleeves, the mating surfaces of which are similarly tapered so that relative axial displacement of the sleeves effects expansion and contraction of the interior bore and external surface of the combined elements. Rotation of an internally threaded nut at one end of the device effects the relative axial displacement of the inner and outer sleeves to afford expansion and contraction of the outer sleeve without straining the material of the sleeve or the nut.
