Bolt-up conveyor

A powered belt conveyor comprising:

• a continuous conveyor belt which is drivable along said powered belt conveyor;
• a first conveyor frame section having opposite sidewalls, a slide plate for supporting said conveyor belt, and a first end;
• a second conveyor frame section having opposite sidewalls, a slide plate for supporting said conveyor belt, and a second end, said second end of said second frame section being positioned generally adjacent to and aligned with said first end of said first frame section;
• and
• an adjustable nose-over assembly mounted to said first and second ends of said first and second conveyor frame sections, said nose-over assembly including an upper roller for routing said continuous conveying belt over, said nose-over assembly being adjustable such that said nose-over assembly and the belt provide a continuous conveying surface between said first and second frame sections throughout a range of angles between said first and second frame sections, wherein said sidewalls of said first and second conveyor frame sections include a plurality of arcuate slots for adjustably mounting a hand rail support thereto, said band rail support being adjustable to be generally vertical when at least one of said first and second conveyor frame sections is inclined or declined with respect to horizontal.

A bolt together powered belt conveyor comprising:

• a continuous conveyor belt which is drivable along said powered belt conveyor;
• a first conveyor frame section having opposite sidewalls, a slide plate bolted to said sidewalls for supporting said conveyor belt, and a first end;
• a second conveyor frame section having opposite sidewalls, a slide plate for supporting said conveyor belt, and a second end, said second end of said second frame section being positioned generally adjacent to and aligned with said first end of said first frame section;
• and
• a nose-over assembly bolted to said first and second ends of said first and second conveyor frame sections, said nose-over assembly including an upper roller for routine said continuous conveying belt over, said nose-over assembly being adjustable such that said nose-over assembly and the belt provide a continuous conveying surface between said first and second frame sections throughout a range of angles between said first and second frame sections, said nose-over assembly including a pair of side assemblies, each of said pair of side assemblies being bolted to a respective sidewall of said first and second frame sections and being correspondingly adjustable to provide said continuous conveying surface, each of said side assemblies of said nose-over assembly including a first plate and a second plate, said first plate being bolted to said first end of said first frame section and said second plate being bolted to said second end of said second frame section, said first and second plates being pivotable relative to one another when said first and second frame sections are angled relative to one another, said first and second plates being pivotable relative to one another about a pivot bushing at each of said side assemblies, said pivot bushing receiving a respective shaft end of said upper roller, wherein said pivot bushing receives said respective shaft end through a slotted opening, said shaft end of said upper roller being adjustably positioned along said slotted opening when said first and second frame sections are angled relative to one another.
