Abstract
This patent teaches and claims web brackets for open frame continuous conveyor systems and open frame continuous conveyor systems utilizing these web brackets. An exemplary web bracket is comprised of a plate; a side grip slot defining an opening within the interior area that extends from the peripheral edge which is shaped to have a pair of oppositely opposed skid rail grip tips, a wash out gap and a skid rail base and is adapted to friction fit a skid rail and a perimeter defining an opening for receiving a frame rail within the interior area.
Claims21
An end web bracket for use in an open frame continuous conveyor system comprised of:
- a. a plate having an interior area and a peripheral edge and
- b. a side grip slot defining an opening within the interior area that extends from the peripheral edge which is shaped to have a pair of oppositely opposed skid rail grip tips, a wash out gap and a skid rail base and is adapted to frictionally fit a skid rail.
A middle web bracket for use in an open frame continuous conveyor system comprised of:
- a. a plate having an interior area and a peripheral edge;
- b. a side grip slot defining an opening within the interior area that extends from the peripheral edge which is shaped to have a pair of oppositely opposed skid rail grip tips, a wash out gap and a skid rail base and is adapted to friction fit a skid rail and
- c. a perimeter defining an opening for receiving a frame rail within the interior area.
A middle web bracket for use in an open frame continuous conveyor system comprised of:
- a. a plate having an interior area and a peripheral edge;
- b. a side grip slot defining an opening within the interior area that extends from the peripheral edge which is shaped to have a pair of oppositely opposed skid rail grip tips in a rounded configuration, a pair of oppositely opposed wash out gaps and a skid rail base and is adapted to friction fit a skid rail lying on edge and
- c. a perimeter defining an opening for receiving a frame rail within the interior area which is shaped to have a relief weld and a wash out gap.
