ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a reciprocating floor conveyor having floor members (10, 10') formed with a side lip (24, 26) overhanging either or both side edges. The slip (24) on one floor member (10) is contiguous with a closely-confronted side (16) or lip (26) of an adjacent floor member (10') when the floor members (10, 10') are installed. The lips (24, 26) form a narrow, material-excluding gap (28) between the floor members (10, 10'). An elongated seal strip (38) having a base portion (40) received in and retained by a longitudinal seal-retaining groove (30) formed in a side (14) of a floor member (10) is provided between each pair of adjacent floor members (10, 10'). A longitudinally straight, vertically convex side surface (36) may be provided vertically above the retaining groove (30) to bias the seal strip (38) into contact with a side surface (48) of an adjacent floor member (10' ).
