ABSTRACT:
A compact clamp system for use with conveyor belt rubber skirtboards utilizes a minimum number of parts and is easy to adjust, even if positioned in areas that are difficult to access. A base member is attached to the steel support plate of a conventional conveyor. A stationary support member having a downwardly extending leg is fixedly attached to the base member, and a depending pressure bar assembly is hingedly attached to the support member. A wedge pin assembly including one or more wedge pins is fixedly attached to the downwardly extending leg of the support member to apply an inward force to the pressure bar assembly to thereby urge it against the conveyor belt skirtboard and to release that force to facilitate repositioning of the rubber skirtboard to accommodate wear, for example.
