  • Patent number: 5211279
    Abstract: A linear conveying unit comprises a rail and a saddle movable therealong. The rail includes two pairs of tracks, with the tracks of each pair being convergent. The saddle carries front and rear groups of wheels for engaging the tracks. Each wheel group includes two pairs of wheels, each pair of wheels having convergent axes of rotation. To adjust the saddle in order to eliminate any gaps between the wheels and tracks, only one wheel of each wheel group is made to be radially adjustable. That adjustment is effected by an eccentric sleeve surrounding the wheel axle. The saddle is moved by a drive belt, the ends of which are connected to the saddle by quick-release couplings. The saddle includes a recess which is covered by a metallic tape that is magnetically attracted to a pair of magnetic rims.

  • Patent number: 4856643
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for retaining two parallel tracks, such as conveyor tracks, and for adjusting the distance therebetween. The device comprises a supporting beam which extends transversely relative to the parallel tracks. Two mounting units for the tracks are mutually displaceably arranged. The position of the mounting units is settled by means of a common shaft, which is axially fixed and provided with right-handed or left-handed threads, said threads being intended to cooperate with corresponding threads in the mounting units.

  • Patent number: 4597492
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor chain having a number of links connected by cardan joints. Each link has a main portion (2) and a fork portion (3, 4) the fork surrounding the main portion of an adjacent link. A rotatable element (6) is arranged in a bore (5) in the main portion and a pin (7) extends into each fork leg from the rotatable element. In order to improve strength and provide largest possible contact surfaces in the members possible against the pin, the pin is fixed in the element (6) and slidable in bores (9) in parts (10, 11) extending from the respective fork legs.

  • Patent number: 4263976
    Abstract: A rotary drill bit having a drill bit body and at least one trunnion projecting from the drill bit body and a rotary cutter supported on at least one radial roller bearing on the trunnion. The rolling elements of the bearing are guided on at least one axial end facing the drill bit body in an outer bearing race groove incorporated in the bore of the rotary cutter. The inner bearing race groove is formed on the trunnion for the rolling elements of the radial roller bearing. At least one filling opening is provided which extends through the drill bit body and trunnion and is essentially axially oriented having one terminal end adjacent the inner bearing race groove and at least one pair of filler piece for sealing the opening. One of the filler pieces is made of an elastically compressible material.
