ABSTRACT:
A system for covering and supporting a conveyor belt system. The conveyor belt system is supported in large measure by a structural support tube. The structural support tube is simply a tube or pipe of the conventional type. Disposed through the center of the tube are a plurality of internal support pipes. In turn, auxiliary support pipes, smaller in diameter than the internal support pipes, may traverse the interior of the internal support pipe and extend out either end. Attached to the auxiliary support pipes is a conventional belt conveyor system. The belt conveyor system is, in turn, enclosed by a top cover and a lower enclosure. All of the parts are held securely together using readily available materials such as angle iron. The present invention is extremely flexible providing the capability of easily constructing 40, 60, 80 and 120 foot spans of conveyor system. In addition, it is possible to provide an open conveyor, a partially enclosed conveyor, or a totally enclosed conveyor. The parts used in the device are interchangeable, conventional, and are easily shipped and assembled.
