ABSTRACT:
An improved drive mechanism for a powered pan conveyor wherein a rotatable line shaft extends longitudinally of the conveyor in transverse relationship to a plurality of uniformly spaced roller assemblies. Each roller assembly includes a support axle which extends between and is rotatably supported on a pair of side frames, and a pair of flanged rollers are nonrotatably secured to the support axle in spaced relationship therealong, whereby the flanged rollers drivingly support and drivingly confine an object such as a pan or pallet therebetween. The line shaft has enlarged driving collars thereon which, in a preferred embodiment, comprise sleeves which are axially shiftable relative to the line shaft and cooperate with the respective roller assemblies. Each sleeve has an external driving surface, preferably of a conical configuration, which is axially shiftable into frictional driving engagement with an annular axially directed surface formed on an end of one flanged roller for causing frictional driving of the respective roller assembly.
