Abstract: In one aspect, a gap blocker having a body with an upper blocking portion and leg portions of the body connected to the upper blocking portion at longitudinally spaced apart locations. The leg portions of the body have an initial, undeflected configuration with at least one of the leg portions having a first orientation relative to the upper blocking portion. The leg portions of the body have an operating configuration with the body in a gap between rollers wherein the at least one of the leg portions has the first orientation relative to the upper blocking portion. The upper blocking portion has upper contact portions and the leg portions have lower contact portions for contacting the rollers. The body also has outer surface portions intermediate the upper and lower contact portions configured to be in clearance with the rollers.

Abstract: In one aspect, a transfer guard member having a body for being positioned in a gap intermediate conveying surfaces, an upper portion of the body for spanning the gap and outer portions of the upper body for slidingly engaging the conveying surfaces, and a pair of spaced, resilient legs having distal end portions for resiliently and slidingly engaging the conveying surfaces. In another aspect, a transfer guard member having a body and at least one attachment member of the body configured for being detachably fixed to a mounting bar. The body has at least one recess adjacent the attachment member for receiving at least one attachment member of another transfer guard member fixed to the mounting bar so that upper transfer surfaces of the attachment members are adjacent one another.

Abstract: A portable conveyor belt splicing apparatus is provided that includes an upper press assembly and a lower press assembly which include, respectively, upper and lower platen assemblies. The upper and lower press assemblies may each include a forced air cooling system for rapidly cooling platens of the platen assemblies. The upper and lower press assemblies may include insulating assemblies with resilient members that support the upper and lower press assemblies. The resilient members provide structural support and insulate the platens from the frame which reduces the power required to heat the platens. In one form, the apparatus includes a power supply circuit that can alternate between providing power to upper and lower heaters in response to the apparatus being connected to different types of standard power supplies. Further, the power supply circuit permits the use of a single recipe for a particular belt irrespective of the type of power supply.

Abstract: In one aspect, a gap blocker having a body configured to be supported in a gap of a roller conveyor by upstream and downstream rollers. The body has an upper blocking portion with upper contact portions for slidingly contacting the upstream and downstream rollers above a narrowest portion of the gap. The body further includes a plurality of laterally spaced upstream leg portions connected to the upper blocking portion and a plurality of laterally spaced downstream leg portions connected to the upper blocking portion longitudinally spaced from the upstream leg portions. The upstream leg portions have upstream distal end portions to be positioned below the narrowest portion of the gap for keeping the body in the gap. The downstream leg portions likewise have downstream end portions to be positioned below the narrowest portion of the gap for keeping the body in the gap.
