ABSTRACT:
Side covers which do not utilize any exposed fasteners are provided around the edges of the movable conveyor belt and the associated tray. A high molecular weight polyethylene transition piece is provided between the tray and the movable conveyor for facilitating movement of items from the flat moving carrying surface into the accumulation tray. The covers include an inward extending portion which overlap the ends of the movable conveyor belt. Elongated wood guides are provided for the edges of the conveyor belt along the length of the top flat horizontal moving surface to eliminate tracking problems and belt damage. No portion of the conveyor belt or the associated drive is lower than the side covers. The frame is supported from the floor by rigid tubular steel legs which provide a strong stable structure and allow access to the bottom of the conveyor and the floor. Wooden blocks are provided at the bottom of the tubular legs for support from the floor. The side covers slidably engage the conveyor frame and are connected together as a unit by fasteners which are provided beneath the conveyor and not exposed. All the mechanical drive components and the accumulation tray are enclosed in the volume defined by the side covers. The conveyor belt is formed with a top wear resistant nylon with a low friction surface which permits articles to accumulate on it without scuffing or developing damaging pressure. The take-up and drive for the conveyor belt are located beneath the top horizontal carrying surface which is fixed in length.
