Abstract
A conveyor belt cleaning apparatus with an elastomeric biasing means. Some given number of the apparatus are seated on a horizontal mount which spans the width of a conveyor belt. Each unit is hollow. This void is loaded with filler material. A metallic blade seat is integral with the elastomeric material and configured to accept a blade.
Claims28
A cleaner apparatus for scraping a conveyor belt comprising:
- a support extending transversely to a direction of movement of the conveyor belt;
- a plurality of belt scraper blades, each having a wearable material face for scraping material from the belt;
- a plurality of elastomeric blade mounts disposed between the support and the scraper blades and supporting the scraper blades and forcing the scraper blades against the belt within a predetermined pressure range;
- the blade mounts having an elastomeric body with an opening therein allowing deformation of the body to bias the scraper blades against the belt.

- elastomeric blade mounts having an elastomeric body and being disposed between the support and the scraper blades and supporting the scraper blades and forcing the scraper blades against the belt within a predetermined pressure range;
- a support sidewall on the elastomeric body mounted on the support;
- a blade-carrying sidewall on the elastomeric body on a side opposite the support side of the elastomeric body;
- and
- a pair of substantially parallel lateral sidewalls extending between the support and blade-carrying sidewalls and being deformed and bending through an angle from an at-rest position to a deflected position with the blade mounts providing the self-energizing which causes the scraper blade force against the belt and providing cushioned support for the scraper blades.
