CA 2289379
A chain conveyor is disclosed. It has a base chain with plural article conveying assemblies mounted on the base chain. The base chain has standard components, including roller link plates, bushings, rollers, pin link plates, and standard length pins. The base chain also has extended length pins. The extended length pins are arranged in pairs of adjacent extended length pins, and one article conveying assembly is mounted on one pair of extended length pins. The article conveying assembly has a conveyor member and a conveyor member link plate. The conveyor member link plate has three spaced holes or openings. Two mounting holes or openings receive parts of the adjacent extended length pins to mount the article conveying assembly on the base chain. The third hole or opening receives part of the conveyor member to mount the conveyor member on the conveyor member link plate. Retainers secure the article conveying assembly on the extended length pins. The retainers are removable so that a broken or damaged article conveying assembly can be readily removed and replaced without disassembly of the entire chain. The conveyor members are not co-axial with the pins, but are positioned adjacent to two adjacent pins.
