ABSTRACT:
A front shield extends across an end portion of a reciprocating floor conveyor above the conveyor slats. Each slat has a front end that rebiprocates longitudinally between first and second positions as the slat reciprocates. A multiplicity of bristles are carried by the shield and depend downwardly therefrom. The lower ends of the bristles contact a top surface of the slats rearwardly of the first and second positions. The bristles are bent by contact with the top surface to preload them into contact and maintain them in contact as the slats reciprocate. This prevents particles of material and debris from passing under the shield. The bristles are mounted on the shield via a carrier that is vertically adjustable relative to the shield to permit adjustment of the preload. The bristles are provided in a plurality of rows positioned one behind another in a longitudinal direction, with each row extending across the conveyor substantially continuously across each slat. The bristles have a sufficiently narrow cross section and are sufficiently close to each other to provide a substantially constant seal across contoured slats.
