  • Patent number: 9486836
    Abstract: A headed retention pin is proposed that seats into recesses in the lower adjoining edges of two screening panels. The heads are tapered vertical from the upper surface of the head to the lower edge of the panels and tapered horizontally from the outer edge of the heads toward the center line of the head which lies on the join line of the two adjacent panels. These appear to be an X in plan view. The advantage is that as well as locating the panels correctly and retaining the panels on the frame they also pull the adjacent panels together to reduce ingress of fines between the panels.
    Type: Grant
