  • Patent number: 5096050
    Abstract: A chain link for use in a low backline pressure chain. The chain link includes a base portion having top and bottom surfaces, first and second shaft support members extending upardly from the top surface of the base portion, at least one shaft extending between the first and second shaft support members, and a plurality of rollers mounted for rotation on the shaft. The chain link also includes a plurality of eye portions extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the base portion and adapted to receive a chain pin so as to permit the link to flex laterally when mounted in a chain.

  • Patent number: 4865183
    Abstract: A sprocket and drive shaft assembly for a wide conveyor belt composed of modules pivotally connected in chain-like fashion and subject to environmentally caused fluctuations in width such as extreme temperatures. The assemlby includes a drive shaft with a polygonal cross section and a plurality of toothed sprockets each having an axial bore which slidingly engages the cross section of the shaft and permits the sprockets to move laterally in response to fluctuations in conveyor width and lateral alignment, as the rotating sprocket assembly drives the conveyor. Restraining devices such as set screws are provided on the drive shaft to prevent the sprockets from undergoing excessive axial movement (toward the ends of the drive shaft) while allowing the sprockets axial freedom to shift in response to lateral belt misalignment and width fluctuation.

  • Patent number: 4858751
    Abstract: A conveyor assembly comprises a frame having a longitudinal axis, a drive shaft rotatably supported by the frame and extending generally perpendicular to the axis, and a plurality of drive sprockets mounted on the drive shaft for rotation therewith, all of the sprockets being axially movable relative to the drive shaft. The assembly also comprises a conveyor belt driven along the axis by the sprockets, the belt having a width measured along a line extending generally perpendicular to the axis. The assembly also comprises a center fingered transfer plate fixed to the frame, a first outer fingered transfer plate which is located on one side of the center plate and which is movable relative to the frame along a line extending generally perpendicular to the axis, and a second outer fingered transfer plate which is located on the other side of the center plate and which is movable relative to the frame along a line extending generally perpendicular to the axis.

  • Patent number: 4711605
    Abstract: A key for transferring rotating driving force between a driven and driving member. The key has a leg portion and a cross portion wider than and integral with the leg portion. The leg portion is positioned in a keyway of a first rotatable member and the cross portion is positioned in a keyway of a second rotable member. Rotating force applied to one of the rotating members is transferred to the other member through the keyways and the leg and cross portions of the key.
