ABSTRACT:
Device for cleaning a side of a continuous or apron-type conveyor as it travels. The frame of the conveyor cleaner is in the form of a first-class lever, a transversely disposed cylindrical brush being journalled on the frame adjacent the end of one arm thereof, driving mechanism for rotating the brush being mounted upon the frame. The device is balanced about its pivotal axis in such manner that the end of the device on which the brush is located is somewhat heavier than the part of the mechanism of the other arm of the device. Thus the brush naturally tends to fall when the cleaning device is not in operation. The cleaning device includes means for automatically pivoting the device about its axis so that the brush rises into contact with the lower surface of the lower run of the conveyor when the device is activated, the brush, as above-stated, automatically falling away from the conveyor belt when the device is deactivated. By changing the balance characteristics of the cleaning device, it can be utilized to clean the top of a conveyor.
