Patent number: 7681710Abstract: Modular transfer band assemblies and systems are provided. The modular transfer band assemblies may include a frame, pulleys supported by the frame, and a belt provided around the pulleys. The belt is configured to be driven to transfer an article off of a main conveyor line having rollers for conveying the article. The removable belt module is configured to be engaged and disengaged from the main conveyor line without the use of tools as a single, self-contained unit. Modular transfer band assembly systems may include the modular transfer band assembly and a support structure, wherein the modular transfer band assembly is removably attached to the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2008Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: FKI Logistex, Inc.Inventors: John William Kuhn, Charles Burdine, Barry Edwin Brown, James Matthew Dickman
