ABSTRACT:
A modular conveyor is presented having parallel frame sides which are generally channel shape which are held rigidly in position by a conveyor bottom plate and rigid structures near the opposite ends of the frame fixing the sides in position, one end of the frame having legs removably attached and the other end having legs attached thereto for angular adjustment, a conveyor drive roll at one end of the frame and an idler roll at the opposite end, these rolls being rotatably mounted in a bearing mount which is slidable into one end of the channel shape sides. A power drive is mounted at the end of the frame having the drive roller and the frame may be supported on the legs at both ends for use with the frame and conveyor generally horizontal, or the legs at the one end may be removed and the legs at the other end adjusted to permit the legless end to rest on a supporting surface for use with the conveyor frame inclined. Other features include interfitting plates for assembling two conveyor portions with their longitudinal sides in line and telescopingly secured together to provide one long rigid conveyor frame, interchangeable parts, and roller bearing mounts adapted to slide telescopically in the ends of the channel shape sides.
