Abstract: A belt conveyor skirtboard apron assembly comprising at least two vertically oriented U-shaped brackets mounted at spaced positions on the skirtboard, preferably inclined inwardly toward the edge of the conveyor belt, a corresponding number of tension arms each mounted in one of the brackets by a wedge that extends through the bracket sidewalls and the tension arm, an apron-mounting channel extending between and affixed to the lower end of each tension arm, and a resilient, flexible apron replaceably mounted on the channel by means of two mounting strips affixed to the apron and slidably fitted into the channel; the vertical position of the apron is adjusted to compensate for wear, without requiring shutdown of the conveyor, by driving the wedges further into the brackets.

Abstract: A conveyor belt scraper assembly having a scraper core attached to a shaft which holds the scraper core in adjustable spatial relationship with the conveyor belt, the scraper core having slide-in mounting channels which hold resilient scraper blades in contact with the conveyor belt to remove foreign matter therefrom and to allow expeditious replacement of worn-out blades, the scraper core also being rotationally and linearly adjustable to permit compensation for a substantial range of wear on the blade edge surface.
