摘要:
A modular conveyor belt (10) having rollers (17) are supported by cradles (16) that are supported between adjacent belt modules (12). The cradles include a first part and a second part. The first part has a first hinge member and a first shaft extending from the first hinge member. The first shaft has a hollow portion opening at a first shaft distal end. The second part has a second hinge member and a second shaft extending from the second hinge member. The second shaft has a second shaft distal end received in the hollow portion of the first shaft through the first shaft distal end. In the assembled conveyor another embodiment, the roller supported by one of the cradles extends into a concave portion of an adjacent module.

A modular belt link (14) which includes a link base (22) having at least one hinge barrel (32) for connecting the link (14) to adjacent links. A side guard (16) is fixed to the link base (22), and defines a non-planar wall (48) having a bottom (44) and top (42) joined by sides (46). The wall (48) is twisted relative to an axis of rotation (50) extending through said top (42) and bottom (44).

Disclosed herein is an elastomeric coupling (11) for transmitting torque between two shafts (13, 15) approximately aligned on a shaft axis (17), which coupling (11) comprises: a composite member (21) extending arcuately about an axis (23) and including elastomeric center element (25) having an axially and radially extending portion (27) including an inner surface (41); a shoe (31) having an axially inner portion (61) fixed to the extending portion (27) of the elastomeric center element (21). And a hub (35) adapted to be connected to shaft (13) and including an outer surface (87) having a circumference and a length and being engaged with the inner surface (69) of the shoe (31) substantially throughout the circumference and the length of the outer surface (87) of the hub (35).

摘要:
The present invention is an improved modular chain link used for constructing a modular conveyor chain. The chain link (13) includes a plastic body (16) having a plurality of spaced link ends (25) which are adapted to interwesk with complementary link ends (25) projecting from a link or links in an adjacent row. The link ends include axially aligned openings (33) that are adapted to receive a connecting pin (17). The connecting pin (17) extends through the openings (33) in the link ends (25) of the intermeshing links and fastens the adjacent links together such that the links can pivot with respect to each other. The improved modular chain link (13) further includes a support member (74) that is molded within the plastic body of the chain link. The support member (74) increases the strength of the modular chain link and minimizes the thermal expansion and contraction that occurs when the chain link is subjected to a temperature change.
摘要:
A modular chain link for use in constructing a modular conveyer chain. The modular chain link includes a plurality of link ends which are adapted to intermesh with link ends on a similar adjacent link. The link ends include openings which are substantially axially aligned with openings on the adjacent link ends. The openings are adapted to receive a connecting pin for pivotally joining the adjacent modular chain links together. The modular chain link is injection molded from a polymer and comprises less than about 30 weight percent of filler in order to maximize the mechanical properties of the modular chain link.
