ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a reliable connection between chutes of a heavy-duty chain-and-flight conveyor with considerable side loading.
The connecting member is a shaped link, the shouldered end portions of which are coupled with the walls of the chutes to be connected with suitable yokes is characterized in that the inner flanged walls 13 and 14 of the catch 8 and securing end portion 9 of the connecting member 1, as well as the walls 15 and 16 of the yokes 2 and 3 co-operating with the latter are inclined relative to the plane 17 of the partition of the chutes 6 and 7 and convergent toward this partition plane. The catch 8 is mounted in a through hole 10 of the catch yoke 2, the strongly inclined wall 11 of the said hole 10 being so situated that it enables the catch to be introduced only in a case when the connecting member 1 has been inclined relative to the conveyor axis. The securing end portion 9 is locked in the seat 18 by means of an elastic shaped member 19 protruding toward the inclined wall 22 of the seat 18, the free dimension a of the length of the said end portion 9 together with the shaped member 19 being greater than the minimum length b of the said seat.
