ABSTRACT:
A track frame assembly is provided having a frame member formed from an elongated channel, a pair of track rail members each fixed in place on a predetermined surface of the frame member, and a plurality of rail fixtures with which the pair of track rail members can removably be fixed to the frame member. Each of the track rail members includes a retaining projection having a retaining recess, the retaining recesses of the track rail members are opposite each other and each chain element of the conveyor chain has a pair of engaging projections which are formed to slide in contact in the respective retaining recesses in the track rail members so that the conveyor chain can be move smoothly. Thus, the track frame assembly can be formed from a reduced number of parts and designed lightweight because of its structural simplicity.
