ABSTRACT:
Alternate conveyor slats have laterally outwardly projecting, upper side portions, each with a depending, longitudinal, load transmitting bead (B). The beads (B) sit down on and slide longitudinally along bearing/seal surfaces (90a, 92a) that are a part of upper side portions of the intermediate conveyor slats (12). The alternate conveyor slats (10) are guided by longitudinal guide beams (14). Hold down members (20) secured to the guide beams (14) serve to resist unwanted upward movement of the conveyor slats (10). The intermediate conveyor slats (10) are snap-fitted onto bearings (18) which in turn are snap-fitted onto longitudinal guide and support beams (19). The weight of conveyor slats (10), and the weight of any load on the conveyor slats (10), is transmitted by the contact of the bead (B) with the bearing/seal surfaces (90, 92) to the conveyor slats (12). This weight, the weight of the conveyor slats (12), and the weight of any load on conveyor slats (12), is transmitted to the bearings (18) and from the bearings (18) to the guide and support beams (16).
