ABSTRACT:
A floor slat member (10) having longitudinally extending first and second sidewalls (32, 34) of a reciprocating floor conveyor includes integrally formed first downwardly opening channel portion (36), having a top panel (40), laterally extending side flange (76) and the first sidewall (32), and an adjacent upwardly opening channel portion (38), having a channel wall (68) and second sidewall (34). The side flange (76) overhangs second sidewall (34) of an adjacent floor slat member (10'). An elongated seal member (72) carried by the second sidewall (34) in a channel (74) extends upwardly contacting a seal member receiving surface (78) on the first sidewall (32). An alternate embodiment has a seal receiving surface (78') on side flange (76). A central leg portion (52) extending longitudinally of floor slat member (10) and laterally between first and second sidewalls (32, 34) and connecting portion of first and second channel portions (36, 38) forms an I-beam (60) for strength and stability of the floor slat member. Abrasive debris/particulates (82) are kept clear of elongated seal member (72) via an angle of repose (84) of the debris/particulates (82) in a narrow vertical gap (80) formed by side flange (76) and second sidewall (34). A tubular extension (102) glides through a slide bearing (104), which is fixedly attached to transverse frame members (26), provides alignment and support to hydraulic motor (M) during movement back and forth of floor slat members (10, 11).
