Claims31
An apparatus comprising a conveying device, said conveying device comprising a machine frame comprising a base support, a conveying element arranged on said machine frame to form a loop that is driven to circulate so as to convey goods arranged thereon along a transport direction, front and rear deflection devices that guide said conveying element to form said loop, a profiled element, a sliding strip along which said conveying element slides during circulation thereof, said sliding strip being arranged on said profiled element, and a quick fastener that connects said profiled element to said base support, wherein said quick fastener comprises first and second securing sections for connection to said profiled element and to said base support, wherein said quick fastener is movable into a locking position in which said quick fastener connects said profiled element securely to said base support, wherein, when in said locking position, one of said first and second securing sections is securely connected to a structure selected from the group consisting of said profiled element and said base support, and wherein one of said first and second securing sections engages a structure selected from the group consisting of a locking finger behind a perforation of said base support and a cut- out opening of said profiled element.
A quick fastener comprising first and second securing sections for connection to a profiled element and to a base support, respectively, both of which are constituents of a conveying device that comprises a machine frame, a conveying element that forms a loop that is driver to circulate so as to convey goods arranged thereon along a transport direction, front and rear deflection devices that guide said conveying element to form said loop, and a sliding strip along which said conveying element slides during circulation thereof, said sliding strip being arranged on said profiled element, wherein said quick fastener connects said profile element to said base support, wherein said quick fastener is movable into a locking position in which said quick fastener connects said profiled element securely to said base support, wherein, when in said locking position, one of said first and second securing sections is securely connected to a structure selected from the group consisting of said profiled element and said base support, and wherein one of said first and second securing sections engages a structure selected from the group consisting of a locking finger behind a perforation of said base support and a cut-out opening of said profiled element.
