Accessory Attachment For Conveyors

US Patent:
4508209, Apr 2, 1985
Filed:
Oct 11, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/540316
Inventors:
Bruce Whitman - Lowell MI
Assignee:
Lear Siegler, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
B65G 2106
US Classification:
198583
Abstract:
An accessory attachment for a conveyor has one or more straps mounted on the accessory which can be seated in openings in the side rail of the conveyor. Openings are provided at suitable intervals to permit accessory relocation along the conveyor. The lower end of the strap is inclined to form a cam finger to pull the accessory tightly against the conveyor to form a stop against further downward movement when the top of the strap engages under the wall forming the upper end of the opening in the conveyor rail to prevent unintentional upward movement. The strap has sufficient resilience to permit it to be flexed when it is desired to detach the accessory.
