Abstract: A bulk material conveyor belt scraper comprises a base portion having a three-sided channel. The belt scraper also comprises a polymeric portion that protrudes outwardly from a corner of the three-sided channel. The three-sided channel of the belt scraper is adapted to engage with and partially encircles a support member having a portion with a square cross-section in a manner such that the support member is able to bias the belt scraper against a conveyor belt.

Abstract: A bulk material conveyor belt scraper comprises a base portion having a C-channel. The belt scraper also comprises a polymeric portion that protrudes outwardly from a corner of the C-channel. The C-channel of the belt scraper is adapted to engage with and partially encircle a support member having a square portion in a manner such that the support member is able to bias the belt scraper against a conveyor belt.

Abstract: On a roof having a raised seam, a method of securing a cable comprises extending a first run of cable in a direction generally parallel to the raised seam. In accordance with the method a cover is accessed having a channel dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the cable therein. The cover is installed on the roof at the raised seam. The cable is secured in the channel of the cover against the roof in a manner such that the cable is partially exposed and visible from a position adjacent the channel.

Abstract: A method of distributing and assembling a conveyor belt cleaner comprises manufacturing a first key component at a first point of fabrication in a longer than needed standard length, obtaining a first common component at a second point of fabrication, cutting the first key component to a desired length, and assembling the first key component with the first common component at the second point of fabrication. The method further comprises manufacturing a second key component at the first point of fabrication and assembling the second key component with the first common component at the second point of fabrication. In another aspect of the invention, the key components are manufactured into desired lengths and are sold as part of kit to be assembled to by the end user of the conveyor belt cleaner.

Abstract: A conveyor belt cleaner which includes a sleeve mounted over a transversely extending support member one or more cleaner elements with a mounting flange at one end for connection to the sleeve, a channel defined between the sleeve and the mounting flange, and a sliding surface associated with the sleeve formed of a plastic having a high degree of lubricity and a low sliding coefficient of friction, the sliding surface adapted to facilitate removal and replacement of the belt cleaner elements. A loose-running fit between mating parts is also provided.
