ABSTRACT:
An improved guide railing assembly for a conveyor system is provided comprising an elongated railing for providing lateral support to articles being conveyed along a path defined by the conveyor, the railing having a substantially half-moon shaped cross-section. A generally U-shaped clamp is also provided having a pair of gripping fingers corresponding to the legs of the U, the fingers being curved toward each other in a shape substantially corresponding to the curvature of the curved surface. The fingers are spaced apart a sufficient distance to receive therebetween at least the railing, the bottom portion of the U being generally concave and forming an aperture therethrough for receiving a fastener for fastening said clamp to a support member associated with the conveyor, the clamp being spring-like to respond to a tightening of the fastener by tending to flatten the bottom of the U and force the fingers towards each other in a gripping fashion on the railing therein, whereby the railing can be reliably retained by the clamp in a preselected position relative to the conveyor path. A plastic cover is also provided for the elongated railing.
