  • Patent number: 5361911
    Abstract: A device for removably attaching screening panels to the frame of a vibrating screen mechanism. The device has an elongate locking strip that is attached to the frame of the screen mechanism. An elongate projection extends upwardly from the locking strip and extends longitudinally the length of the locking strip. The projection has an enlarged first end that is received by an elongate wear pad between a pair of generally parallel, elongate, and flexible elements that extend generally the length of the pad. The enlarged end of the projection is received in the cavity defined by the elements. A portion of the periphery of a screening panel is captured between the pad and the frame. To obtain a positive locking attachment, the attaching device does not require special modifications to the standard screen edges or to most vibrating screen devices.
