  • Patent number: 8020693
    Abstract: A conveyor chain link has a leading edge, a trailing edge, two opposed side edges, a load carrying upper surface and a bottom face. The leading and trailing edges have pluralities of eye parts separated by openings, such that the trailing edge of one belt link may be arranged in the openings arranged on the leading edge of an adjacent belt link. The belt links are connected either by inserting a traverse rod through apertures in the eye parts or by fitting lateral notches in slots provided in sides of the eye parts on the opposite edge on the sides of the eye parts along one edge. Between the leading and trailing edges and the side edges at least a part of a load carrying surface has a one-sided inclination towards one side edge.

  • Patent number: 7987973
    Abstract: A conveyer belt, of the type used in endless conveyors, has a plurality of belt links. Each belt link is substantially identical, and has a front edge, a rear edge, two side edges, an upper surface, and an under surface between the edges. The front and rear edges relate to the direction of travel in use. The front edge of each belt link is provided with an indentation and the rear edge is provided with a mirror image of the indentation in the form of a recess. The front edge of one belt link snugly fits in the rear edge of an adjacent belt link.

  • Publication number: 20100083466
    Abstract: Hinge pin or part of hinge pin for use when connecting two adjacent modular conveyor belt links of the type where the belt links are provided with projecting eye parts, where the eye parts are provided with a transverse aperture, such that a hinge pin may be inserted through overlapping eye parts through the apertures hingely connecting two adjacent modules, wherein the hinge pin is shorter than the width of the belt links perpendicular to the intended travelling direction, and that the hinge pin has a central section having a cylindrical shape in the axial direction and where the ends of the hinge pin comprises a conical section, said conical section having an outer circumference larger than the axial section of the pin, where the conical section is provided with three or more radially extending slots, where each slot has a depth in the axial direction of the hinge pin being equal to or less than the extent in the axial direction of the conical section, where the width of each slot is such that when the thre

  • Publication number: 20100038215
    Abstract: Conveyor belt, of the type used in endless conveyors, where said conveyor belt is made from a plurality of belt links, where each belt link is substantially identical, where each belt link is defined by a front edge, a rear edge, two side edges, and an upper surface and an under surface between said edges, where front and rear relate to the direction of travel in use characterised in that the front edge of each belt link is provided with an indentation and the rear edge is provided with a mirror image of said indentation, such that the front edge of one belt link may snugly fit in the rear edge of an adjacent belt link.

  • Publication number: 20090283388
    Abstract: A conveyor chain link where the link is defined by a leading edge, a trailing edge, two opposed side edges, a load carrying upper surface, and a bottom face, wherein along the leading edge is provided a plurality of eye parts separated by openings and where the link along the trailing edge is provided with a plurality of eye parts separated by openings, such that the eye parts on the trailing edge of one belt link may be arranged in the openings arranged on the leading edge of an adjacent belt link, and the belt links may be connected either by inserting a traverse rod through apertures provided in the lateral direction in the eye parts or by fitting lateral notches provided on the sides of the eye parts along one edge in slots provided on the sides of the eye parts on the opposite edge, characterised in that between the leading and trailing edge and the side edges a load carrying surface is defined, where said surface at least for a part of the surface has a one sided inclination towards one side edge.
