ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a shavings conveyor having a reversing contactor for protecting the drive assembly (1) of the shaving conveyor from undue wear caused by the overloading of the shavings conveyor. When the conveyor becomes overloaded, a torque support beam (12), which is attached to the housing of the drive assembly (1), is caused to rotate. A threaded rod (15) is attached at one end to the beam (12) and moves with the displacement of beam (12). An L-shaped chip (20), mounted to the opposite end of threaded rod (15) and having a control cam (21) attached thereon, is moved with the threaded rod (15) so that the control cam (21) attached thereto engages a control switch (22). As the control switch (22) is activated, it signals the motor of the drive assembly to briefly reverse the direction of movement of the shavings conveyor so as to disperse the accumulation of shavings.
