Abstract
A telescopic or non-telescopic conveyor system having a feed section operatively associated with the conveyor system for feeding materials to one end of the conveyor system is provided. The conveyor system is pivotably mounted to the feed section to pivot said telescopic conveyor system to pivotably rotate relative to said feed section. In another embodiment, the feed section of the conveyor includes a frame to which is attached one or more movable baffles for moving material which has been collected at the sides of the feed section to permit displacement of the same upon lateral movement of the feed section.
Claims17
In a conveyor system for transporting material, which is either telescopic or non-telescopic, and in which said system has:
- a feed section operatively associated with said conveyor system for feeding materials to one end of the conveyor system;
- and
- wherein the improvement comprises said conveyor system being pivotably mounted to said feed section to pivot said telescopic conveyor system to pivotably rotate relative to said feed section.
In a conveyor system for transporting material, which is either telescopic or non-telescopic, said system having:
- a movable feed section operatively associated with said conveyor system for feeding materials to a feed end of the conveyor system, said feed section having opposed side frame members at the feed end thereof, with a conveyor feed between said opposed side frame members;
- and
- wherein the improvement comprises said feed section having said opposed frame members each having associated therewith baffle means, each of said baffle means being adapted to move between first and second positions upon lateral movement of said feed section;
- and means for mounting each of said baffle means to a respective one of said side frames to permit one of said baffle means to be placed in a first non-movable position when said feed section laterally moves in a first direction with the other of said baffle means being movable when said feed section moves in said first direction,
- and wherein said feed section laterally moves in an opposite second direction, said first baffle means which is non-movable in said first position is movable when said feed section laterally moves in said second opposite direction, said other of said baffle means being non-movable when said feed section moves in said second opposite direction.
