Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention is further directed to a method for securing conveyor components to a conveyor that is disposed between a pair of side guards. To begin, the first channel end of the framing channel is adapted to correspond to the grooved portion of side guard. The adapted first channel end of the framing channel is then angularly ins

Problems solved by technology

Because conveyors are installed in unique locations and applications, providing all factory installed attachment points is not practical.
Factory installed attachment points add additional weight, materials

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to the Figures, wherein like numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, an attachment system 20 for securing conveyor components to a conveyor 22 is generally shown.

[0025]As shown in FIG. 1, a conveyor 22 is disposed between a pair of side guards 24 or contained within a frame having side walls. The side guards 24 or frame side walls are generally U-shaped and include a first lip 26 that defines a grooved portion 28 in the side guard 24. The conveyor components are secured to the side guard 24 by at least one framing channel 30 that defines a channel portion 32. The framing channel 30 extends between first and second channel ends 34, 36 that are disposed between first and second side guard ends 38, 40. The first channel end 34 of the framing channel 30 is adapted to correspond to the grooved portion 28 of side guard 24. The adapted first channel end 34 of the framing channel 30 is angularly inserted into the grooved portion 28 of the side gua...

Abstract

An attachment system for securing conveyor components to a conveyor disposed between a pair of side guards. The side guards are U-shaped and have first and second side guard ends that extend perpendicularly from the opposite ends of a flat wall portion to a distal end. The first side guard end includes a first lip that defines a grooved portion. At least one framing channel extending between flat first and second channel ends is disposed between the first and second side guard ends. The first channel end includes a projection portion that extends from the first channel end to engage to the grooved portion of the side guard to secure the first channel end adjacent the first side guard end.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The subject invention relates to an attachment system for securing conveyor components to a conveyor.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Conveyors of numerous designs have been used in the past to transport articles from one area to another. Known conveyors have employed endless belts, segmented slats, slider beds and other elements to move objects along their path of transport. During the field installation phase of conveyor systems, it is often necessary to add attachment points, typically unistrut type “framing channel”, to the conveyor side guards or frame. In addition to providing structural support to the conveyor system, these attachment points are used to secure wiring conduit, control boxes, photocell brackets, motor control devices, etc., to the conveyor side guards. Because conveyors are installed in unique locations and applications, providing all factory installed attachment points is not practical. ...
