  • Patent number: 8028823
    Abstract: A detachable stacked attachment for a modular conveyor belt. An attachment, for example, a bucket, comprises a group of components arranged side by side in an aligned stack of parallel layers. Interior components are sandwiched between outermost and end components. The number and widths of the components in the stack define the width of the resulting stack attachment. In this way, an attachment of selected width may be attached to a conveyor belt.

  • Patent number: 7722762
    Abstract: A horizontally traveling water screen for filtering debris from a wide flowing stream. The water screen, which may be realized by a foraminous modular plastic conveyor belt, is formed in an endless loop trained between drive and idle sprockets rotatable on generally vertical shafts. The upstream face of the water screen is oriented transverse to the flow and advances horizontally across the stream to drag debris to a cleaning and discharge station. Horizontally spaced hold down tabs extending outward of the inner surface of the loop hook onto and ride along a horizontal guide attached to a support frame for the water screen to prevent the screen from sagging.
