CA 2061680

An overlay for use in a conveyor system having at least one ware transport section and made up of a succession of overlays for transporting articles, wherein each overlay is supported and moved along by a belt of spaced rod members extending transversely of the direction of travel of the belt. Each overlay includes a plurality of laterally spaced substantially longitudinally disposed longitudinal members and a plurality of transversely disposed connecting means each connecting adjacent ones of the longitudinal members. Adjacent ones of the connecting means connect opposite end portions of the longitudinal members forming a plurality of alternating oppositely opening nestable segments, giving the overlay a zig-zag shape, which allow nesting thereof with overlays immediately ahead and behind it on the belt. Each of the longitudinal members have a first and second support means which are opposed and longitudinally spaced from each other. Each support means include a rod member engaging means operable to receive a rod member when the overlay is moved relatively toward the respective rod member in a direction normal to the plane of the belt. The first and/or second support means each have a downwardly directed opening extending longitudinally of the longitudinal member and parallel to the plane of the belt allowing the belt to expand or collapse while the belt travels through an arcuate path about an axis parallel to the plane of the belt. The overlay is releasably clipped onto the rod members with a plurality of rod member retaining means.

Revêtement pour convoyeur comportant au moins une section pour le transport d'articles en céramique et constitué d'une succession de revêtements pour le transport d'articles, chaque revêtement étant supporté et déplacé le long d'une courroie constituée de tiges espacées disposées transversalement à l'axe de défilement de la courroie. Chaque revêtement comporte une pluralité d'éléments disposés longitudinalement et espacés latéralement et une pluralité d'organes de raccordement disposés transversalement, chaque organe de raccordement servant à raccorder les éléments longitudinaux adjacents. Les organes de raccordement adjacents sont raccordés aux extrémités opposées des éléments longitudinaux, formant ainsi une pluralité de segments emboîtables conférant au revêtement une forme en zigzag favorisant l'emboîtement des éléments adjacents. Chacun de éléments longitudinaux possède des supports d'extrémité espacés longitudinalement l'un de l'autre. Chaque support d'extrémité est configuré pour recevoir une tige de la courroie lorsque le revêtement est déplacé relativement à la tige respective dans une direction normale par rapport au plan de la courroie. Les premier et deuxième supports présentent tous deux une ouverture dirigée vers le bas et orientée longitudinalement et parallèlement au plan de la courroie, ce qui permet l'allongement ou le raccourcissement de la courroie sur un trajet arqué autour d'un axe parallèle au plan de la courroie. Le revêtement est librement accroché aux tiges de la courroie par une pluralité de doigts de retenue.
