    Abstract: Extendible fences for extendible conveyors are disclosed. An example conveyor includes a fence assembly having a plurality of channel segments including at least a base channel segment, an intermediate channel segment, and a distal channel segment. The fence assembly is adjustable in a lengthwise direction such that the fence assembly is longer in the lengthwise direction when a main conveyor assembly is in a fully extended configuration than when the main conveyor assembly is in a fully retracted configuration. The intermediate channel segment is interposed between the base channel segment and the distal channel segment with respect to the lengthwise direction. Each channel segment of the plurality of channel segments includes sidewalls extending upward from a bottom panel. The intermediate channel segment to move in translation in the lengthwise direction relative to an intermediate conveyor section. The bottom panel of the intermediate channel segment is positioned between an upper portion of a conveyor belt of the main conveyor assembly and an upper load bearing surface of the intermediate conveyor section. The upper portion of the conveyor belt being interposed between the sidewalls with reference to a lateral direction, where the lateral direction is horizontal and perpendicular to the lengthwise direction.

    Abstract: Example adjustable conveyor systems are disclosed herein. An example adjustable conveyor system includes a first conveyor having a first conveying surface facing upward and running lengthwise along a first longitudinal axis and a second conveyor having a second conveying surface facing upward and running lengthwise along a second longitudinal axis. The second conveyor is spaced apart from the first conveyor to define a span between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. The second conveyor is pivotal relative to the first conveyor. A first side guide protrudes upward and extends lengthwise between the first conveyor and the second conveyor proximate the span, where the first side guide has a first adjustable length. A second side guide protrudes upward and extends lengthwise between the first conveyor and the second conveyor proximate the span, where the second side guide has a second adjustable length. The first side guide is spaced apart from the second side guide to define a passageway between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. The first adjustable length automatically lengthens and the second adjustable length automatically shortens in reaction to the second conveyor pivoting relative to the first conveyor.

    Abstract: Drive systems for extendible conveyors are disclosed. An example conveyor includes a major conveyor section mountable to the support surface, an intermediate conveyor section, and a distal conveyor section. A motor is located on the distal conveyor section. A linear actuator is to couple the distal frame to the intermediate frame. The linear actuator to be driven by the motor to move the distal frame in translation relative to the intermediate frame. In response to the motor moving the distal frame in translation relative to the intermediate frame, the intermediate conveyor section and the distal conveyor section are to move at least sometimes simultaneously in the forward direction as the conveyor moves from the fully retracted position to the fully extended position.
