  • Patent number: 11655104
    Abstract: A pressing assembly for a conveyor having a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt includes a roller support, a linkage coupled to the roller support, a roller rotatably coupled to the linkage, the roller configured to engage the first conveyor belt to press the first conveyor belt toward the second conveyor belt, and a deflector engageable with the first conveyor belt to inhibit contact between the first conveyor belt and the linkage.

  • Patent number: 11536767
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to self-test circuitry for a system that includes one or more current control subsystems, each current control subsystem having a load terminal for coupling the current control subsystem to a load. The self-test circuitry comprises: a signal path associated with each current control subsystem, each signal path configured to selectively couple a measurement node to the load terminal of the current control subsystem, wherein the measurement node is common to all of the signal paths; voltage detection circuitry; and test voltage source circuitry configured to provide a test voltage to the measurement node. The voltage detection circuitry is operable to output a signal indicative of a fault condition if a voltage detected at the measurement node differs from the test voltage when the measurement node is coupled to the load terminal.

  • Patent number: 11008171
    Abstract: A high angle conveyor includes a frame, a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and a pressing assembly configured to press the first conveyor belt toward the second conveyor belt. The pressing assembly includes a bracket pivotally coupled to the frame, a roller support pivotally coupled to the bracket at a pivot joint, a plurality of rollers coupled to the roller support, the plurality of rollers configured to engage the first conveyor belt, and a deflector configured to inhibit contact between the first conveyor belt and the pivot joint.

  • Patent number: 10894665
    Abstract: A high angle conveyor includes a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a first idler roller engaged with the first conveyor belt, the first idler roller being coupled to a first pivot frame, and a second idler roller engaged with the second conveyor belt, the second idler roller being coupled to a second pivot frame. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt define an inflection point between the first idler roller and the second idler roller. The first and second pivot frames are pivotable from an initial position toward an expanded position in response to a lump of material larger than a specified capacity of the high angle conveyor passing through the inflection point.
