Multifunction conveyor side extrusions

A first extruded side rail (102, 104, 120, 122) for a conveyor (100) that comprises an elongate frame upon which an endless belt (106, 106A, 106B), recirculates, the side rail (102, 104, 120, 122) comprising a single unitary web of extruded material, said web having a plurality of extruded profiles, said plurality of extruded profiles comprising at least two members of the group comprising,

• (1) a first profile (329, 335) configured to be removably fixed directly to a shaft mount (330, 331) of a shaft (332, 357) of an idler roller (110, 132),
• (2) a second profile (319, 371) configured to be fixed directly to an elongate planar sheet (324, 374) upon which an endless belt (106) of the conveyor (100) runs,
• (3) a third profile (299, 298) configured to be fixed directly to an elongate conveyor belt skirt (302, 364) disposed against a top surface of the endless belt (106),
• (4) a fourth profile (341, 347) configured to directly support for longitudinal sliding relative movement a mating profile (347, 341) of another side rail (102, 104, 120, 122) of the conveyor (100),
• (5) a fifth profile (309, 381) configured to be fixed directly to a cover (310, 384) extending over the top of the endless belt (106) of the conveyor (100),
• (6) a sixth profile (337, 375) configured to be fixed directly to a cross member (338, 378) that is also fixed directly to a second extruded side rail (102, 104, 120, 122) of the frame.
