Abstract: The system is a plurality of wall board conveying sections which when interconnected form the wall board conveying system for the distance desired. In the preferred embodiment, each section provides a horizontally extending track frame housing a plurality of spaced apart freely rotating roller members throughout its length. Adjacent each roller there is further provided a first pair of lower free rotating guide wheels making contact with the front and back side of the wall board as it is conveyed along the rollers. There is further provided a second upper pair of free rotating roller guide wheels extending a distance above the lower guide wheels to a point approximately above the mid-point of the wall board being conveyed on edge, the guide wheels also positioned in making contact with both the front and back side of the sheet of wall board, and supporting it on edge as it is being conveyed along the rollers.

Abstract: A roller conveyor comprises rollers (10) journalled on through shafts (13), which are linked together by means of alternatingly arranged links (11, 11a). Links (11a) mounted between adjacent rollers (10) on a mutual shaft (13) have support surfaces (12) on one side of the plane of the conveyor. These links (11a) are placed separately, so that links on each side of one roller (10) are linked to different adjacent shafts (13) and are pivotable at least 135.degree. to each side of the conveyor plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved roller table arrangement for the transportation, in a horizontal plane, of typically plate-shaped workpieces. The present invention provides a roller table of the form of rollers located on carrier rails, in which rolling transport may be accomplished either parallel to, or transversely to, the carrier rails, the aforesaid transportation being achieved through the use of interchangeable roller receiving means. The invention further provides a means by which uniform elevation of the rollers with respect to the carrier rails is accomplished in spite of the presence of swarf or other material debris upon the carrier rails. The present invention further provides for the selective conversion from roller table to workpiece support table through the use of support strips which may be placed upon the carrier rails in lieu of the roller receiving means.

Abstract: A modular chute for passing a workpiece therealong is disclosed. The chute of the present invention includes a pair of side walls secured in a spaced apart manner by a plurality of clips attached to upper and lower edges of the side walls. Wear members are disclosed that are selectively secured to the walls of the chute or to the clips to reduce friction and wear from parts moving along the chute.

Abstract: A modular chute for passing a workpiece therealong is disclosed. The chute of the present invention includes a U-shaped cross-section having a bottom wall, a pair of opposed side walls, and an open top. A joining device is provided for abutting and securing a plurality of chutes into a continuous member. Wear members are disclosed that are selectively secured to the walls of the chute to reduce friction and wear from parts moving along the chute.

Abstract: A set of components for producing load-bearing scaffolds comprising profile bars and connecting bars each having an approximately .SIGMA.-shaped cross-section with a flat center web section. The connecting bars fit slidably in the profile bars to which they are attached by connecting means through perforations in each of the center web sections. The profile bars also have an inwardly angled free arm extending parallel to the center web section and having perforations to provide for connection of further components to the profile bars. Further components adapted for use with the above profile bars comprise fixing angles, packing pieces, cross-member brackets, reducing elements, bearing hole plates, angle elements and belt guide plates.
