Belt Conveyor With A Modular Intermediate Drive Belt

US Patent:
8453825, Jun 4, 2013
Filed:
Sep 17, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/884294
Inventors:
Philip J Wunsch - Metairie LA, US
Assignee:
Laitrom, L.L.C. - Harahan LA
International Classification:
B65G 23/16
US Classification:
198697, 198833, 198853
Abstract:
An intermediate drive system for driving a conveyor belt with one or more intermediate drive belts. The intermediate drive belt includes lateral rows of pivotable teeth spaced apart along the length of the intermediate drive belt. The teeth extend into the conveyor belt along a portion of the carryway to drive the conveyor belt in a conveying direction. The only component external to the intermediate drive belt that the teeth contact is the intermediate drive belt. Engagement and disengagement of the teeth with the conveyor belt is effected without the use of cams against the teeth.

Modular Plastic Spiral Belt

US Patent:
8453827, Jun 4, 2013
Filed:
Oct 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/123640
Inventors:
Andrew A. Corley - Harahan LA, US
Daryl J. Marse - New Orleans LA, US
Philip J. Wunsch - Metairie LA, US
Assignee:
Laitram, L.L.C. - Harahan LA
International Classification:
B65G 13/02
US Classification:
198778, 198853
Abstract:
A modular spiral belt and method for molding belt modules for constructing a heat-resistant belt. The spiral belt is constructed of a series of hingedly interconnected belt modules. The modules have single hinge links at the outside of a turn and dual hinge links elsewhere. All the hinge links extend outward from opposite faces of a central transverse spine. The dual hinge links, which each have a pair of parallel legs joined at a distal end by a yoke, are separated by a transverse pitch greater than the transverse pitch of the single one-legged hinge links at the outside of a turn. When molded from a blend of a thermoplastic polymer and a nanoclay, belt modules are useful in heat-resistant applications without sacrificing beam stiffness.

Module For A Modular Conveyor Belt

US Patent:
2010025, Oct 14, 2010
Filed:
Dec 23, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/742860
Inventors:
Philip J. Wunsch - Metairie LA, US
Assignee:
LAITRAM, L.L.C. - Harahan LA
International Classification:
B65G 17/06, B23P 19/00
US Classification:
198853, 294261
Abstract:
A module for a modular conveyor belt includes a flexible retainer for retaining a hinge rod in a bore of the module. A stopper limits the bending movement of the retainer and supports the midportion of the retainer to prevent stresses generated in the retainer from exceeding its design stress.
