ABSTRACT:
An engine mounting construction for a portable conveyor. The conveyor includes a frame and a conveyor belt is mounted for travel on the frame. A gasoline engine is secured to a skid and the skid is removably mounted on a support that is pivoted to the conveyor frame through a four-bar linkage. The connection between the skid and the support consists of a pair of open ended slots on the skid, which engage locating pins on the support, plus a pair of locating pins on the support which are received in holes in the skid. A manually operated clamp secures the skid to the support. Installation of the skid on the support will effect engagement of a coupling on the engine drive shaft with a coupling on a driven shaft that is operably connected to the drive roll for the conveyor belt. The four-bar linkage enables the engine to be moved arcuately about the axis of the conveyor drive roll, while maintaining the engine in generally the same orientation with respect to a horizontal plane.
