ABSTRACT:
A modular link conveyor including a series of article engaging inserts includes a plurality of downwardly extending projections on each insert is provided to engage a series of corresponding apertures across the width of the modular links. A series of transversely mounted retaining rods secure the article engaging inserts to the conveyor. In the preferred embodiment, each insert is provided with one or more elastomer pads across the top surface of the insert for positive frictional engagement of the article being transported on the conveyor along the path. In the first alternative embodiment, each insert is provided with transversely mounted pusher bar, including an upstanding projection, to positively feed articles when necessary, such as when going up an incline. In a second alternative embodiment, each article engaging insert is provided with a transversely mounted bar having an obliquely angled face, similarly capable of positively feeding articles on the conveyor.
