Abstract: In one aspect, a transfer guard system is provided for transferring objects across a gap between conveying surfaces of a conveyor. The transfer guard system includes an elongate mounting member and at least one transfer guard member connected to the mounting member. The transfer guard system includes at least one mount having a receiver that receives the mounting member. The at least one mount includes a plurality of link members and at least one pivot connection between the link members. The at least one pivot connection permits the mounting member receiver to be pivoted along an arcuate path within the gap to position the receiver at a predetermined position in the gap. The at least one mount further includes at least one locking member operable to fix the link members relative to one another and secure the mounting member receiver at the predetermined position in the gap.

Abstract: Hitch guards are provided for spanning a gap formed in a conveying surface between two adjacent rollers. In one aspect, the hitch guards include hitch guard members positioned side-by-side along the gap. An elongate mounting member extends across the conveyor belt and has the hitch guard members releasable mounted thereto. In another aspect, an elongate hitch guard member extends across the belt width in the gap and includes a laterally elongated recess to capture debris.
