  • Patent number: 5372261
    Abstract: A system for screening or diverting particulate material includes replaceable screening or diverting modules mounted to a rigid frame by lock pin assemblies is provided. The lock pins are fixed into mounting holes in the frame and interlockingly and removably engage recess apertures in the sidewalls of the screening or diverting modules so that the lock pins remain fixed to the frame while allowing the modules to be removed and replaced as required due to wear or to change sieve size. The lock pin assembly comprising an elongate connector strip having first and second major opposite surfaces, a plurality of lock pins joined to the first major surface, and connectors joined to the second major surface for connecting the lock pin assembly to the frame. The lock pins includes devices for interlockingly and removably engaging the attachment apertures to maintain the positioning of each screening or diverting module on the frame when the lock pin assembly is attached to the frame.

  • Patent number: 5049262
    Abstract: A system for screening particulate material includes replaceable screening modules mounted to a rigid frame by lock pins. The lock pins are fixed into mounting holes in the frame and interlockingly and removably engage recesses in the sidewalls of the screening modules so that the lock pins remain fixed to the frame while allowing the modules to be removed and replaced as required due to wear or to change sieve size. A split lock pin is provided for removably connecting the module to the frame along an outboard edge of the frame while maximizing screening area. An improved elongate frame member is arranged to avoid abrasive wear of the frame.
