  • Patent number: 3933238
    Abstract: In an endless flexible belt carrier mechanism for transporting workpieces, shield assemblies are inserted in the spaces between individual work holders in order to protect the mechanism from damage caused by debris falling between work holders into the mechanism. The shield assembly includes a pair of shield members, each shield member snugly abutting the adjacent work holder and biased outwardly to maintain close contact with the work holder when the flexible belt passes around a circular path.
