ABSTRACT:
An easily assembled and disassembled modular construction for an air conveyor comprises standardized side, bottom and top walls adapted to be assembled together, at the point of use if so desired, to produce a conveyor section, with individual sections being joined together to produce conveyors of desired length and configuration. The top wall constitutes the wall over which the conveyed objects move, the bottom and top walls can be provided in varying widths, and the standardized side walls are configured to receive and hold the top and bottom walls, to have brackets mounted thereon, which brackets can carry auxiliary elements such as side guide rails or top covers for the conveying space, and to receive splice plates and other elements, all preferably through the use of headed fasteners the heads of which are received in key slots provided on the outer surfaces of the side walls.
