Patent number: 7275638Abstract: Method for manufacturing a bent curve element and a blank for manufacturing a bent curved metal element for an endless chain conveying track are disclosed. The bent curve element has a support flange intended to constitute a guide rail for a first side of chain elements forming part of the chain conveying track, and a web from which the first flange extends. The web is intended to provide torsional rigidity to the bend element. A bend element is used to make bend unit which in turn is used to make a conveying track.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2003Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Flexlink Components ABInventor: Andreas Rundqvist

Patent number: 6913139Abstract: Conveyor for light goods, and connection piece for beam sides of a conveyor. The conveyor has a first supporting guide arrangement (10) for controlling the conveyor chain (11) in an operational direction, a second guide arrangement (17) for controlling the conveyor chain in the return direction, and a deflector wheel arrangement (20) (FIG. 3) at both ends of the first and second guide arrangements. The first guide arrangement (10 ) is made up of beam sides (10a, 10b) which between them form a space which narrows in the direction towards the second guide arrangement (17). A two-part connection piece (12) which has a wedge-shaped element (12a) fixes the position of the beam sides by means of a wedging effect between the wedge-shaped-element of the connection piece and a complementary recess in the second element (12b) of the connection piece. A tensioning bolt (13) inserted at right angles between the plane of the conveyor chain of the guide arrangements generates said wedging effect.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: Flexlink Components ABInventors: Göran Abbestam, Andreas Rundqvist

Patent number: 6782997Abstract: Deflecting device for a conveyor, comprising at least one profiled element (10) and deflecting devices (25) and in which a continuous conveyor chain is driven in the profiled element and the said deflecting devices. The profiled element comprises a first guide (11, 11′) for the motion of the chain in the direction of a deflecting device and a second guide (12, 12′) for the motion of the chain away from the deflecting device. The said at least one deflecting device has a third guide (26, 29, 40) on a pair of mutually opposing wall elements (25) actively connectable to the first and second guides and comprises a part (30″, 30″) which reverses the motional direction of the chain. Each wall element has a fixture device (30), configured in one piece therewith, for snapping-in of the guide/slide element on both sides of the conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Flexlink Components ABInventors: Göran Abbestam, Andreas Rundqvist
