ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating floor conveyor comprising a support frame (12), a plurality of elongated conveyor slats (?), a plurality of drive motors (40), one for each conveyor slat, for reciprocating the conveyor slats, and a set: of lugs (86,100) and contact blocks (90) for maintaining contact between the drive motors (40) and conveyor slats (CS) should the conveyor slats move relative to the drive motors. The drive motors are mounted on the support frame beneath the conveyor slats. Each conveyor slat (CS) and drive unit (40) includes a set of longitudinally-spaced lugs (86,100). The conveyor slat lugs and drive unit lugs are alternately spaced apart in substantial longitudinal alignment. A set of contact blocks (90) is provided for each drive unit. Each contact block (90) is positioned between and in engagement with an adjacent pair of conveyor slat and drive unit lugs. Each contact block is movable toward and away from a conveyor slat. As the drive motors reciprocate the conveyor slats, should a conveyor slat move relative to its drive unit, the contact blocks move to maintain engagement between the contact blocks and adjacent conveyor slat and drive unit lugs.
