8 Claims.`
The present invention relates to belt conveyors.
More specifically it relates to an arrangement for` securing conveyer flights, pegs, and buckets to a V-belt, a flat belt, or a round belt.
The conveyors in use today are most generally of the chain type. These chain conveyors, when used on a mobile type of machine, add greatly to the weight of the machine, are noisy in operation, and require constant lubrication.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a conveyor that is of light weight, and which will operate with a minimum of noise.
Another object of the invention is to kprovide a belt to which may be secured at any point thereon, conveyor flights, pegs, and buckets.
Other objects will become apparent to those skilled in the art after a consideration of the following description and explanation, reference being had to the drawings appended hereto, in which:
Figure lis a perspective View of the V-belt conveyer with a conveyer peg secured thereon;
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the structure shown in Figure l;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3--3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is an end view of a conveyer peg applied to a flat belt;
Figure 5 is an end view of a conveyor peg applied to a round belt;
Figure 6 is a front view of a bucket type conveyer secured to a belt;
Figure 'l is a side view of the structure shown in Figure 6;
Figure 8 is a sectional View of a V-belt type elevator; and,
Figure 9 is a sectional View taken along the line 9-9 of Figure 8.
ln the drawings and speciication like numerals refer to like part-s throughout.
Referring now to Figure l, reference numeral Il? indicates a V-'oelt type of conveyer to which is secured a conveyer peg II. The V-belt Ii) is provided with a pair of grooves i2 formed in the upper portion of the converging sides thereof. The grooves I2 form laterally extending ribs or beads I3 and are provided on the V-belt IG above that portion of the belt which normally engages a pulley.
The conveyer element shown is in the form of a peg Il and is of U-shape and the ends thereof are provided with arcuate portions I t. The sides of the U-shape peg I l are bent at i5 and the portions I thereof are bent inwardly closing the end of the peg i I. Aligned countersunk openthe ings Il' are provided in the sides of the U-shaped peg II. The peg Il is placed on the belt Iii, ythe arcuate portions Ill thereof engaging and gripping the ribs i3, and the portions I6 engaging the top of the V-belt itl. To prevent the peg II from moving on the belt it, a retaining clip I8 is provided. The clip l 8 contacts the top of the belt I0 and the countersunk portions of the openings il. A rivet It is inserted in the openings and peened into the countersunk openings I1 which brings the arcuate portions ifi into engagement with the ribs i3 of the belt lil. The peg II is securely held on the belt I0, since the retaining clip i8 in conjunction withv the arcuate portions I4 prevents the peg from moving vertically or fore and aft with respect to the belt I0.
Figure 4 illustrates an application of the invention to a flat belt. The at belt Ia is provided with grooves or recesses Ita and ribs or beads Ita along the top surface thereof. The peg I I is secured on the ribs Elia in the same manner as kdescribed above for the V-belt.
Figure 5 illustrates another application of the invention, in this case, to a round belt. The round belt Ib` is provided with grooves I2b and ribs i317 along the top surface thereof. The peg II is secured on the round belt Ib in the same manner as described for its application to the V-belt. It is to be noted that in securing the peg II on the V-belt, flat belt and the round belt that the peg II in no Way interferes with the operation of the belt. `The peg II may also be secured at any desired point in the belt, as the groove extends the length of the belt.
In Figures 6 and 7 there is illustrated a bucket 2i! which is secured on the V-belt Il] by a bracket 2 I. The bracket 2l is provided with arcuate portions 22, which straddle the ribs I3. The ends 23 of the bracket 2l are bent inwardly and contact the top of the belt I8 to prevent shifting of the bracket ZI with respect to the belt I0. The bucket 20 is spot-Welded to the top surface of the bracket 2|.
In applying the present invention to an elevator of the night type the pegs II can be used by spot-Welding nights to the end thereof. Referring to Figure 8 there is illustrated an elevator 24. Pulleys 25 are journaled at the ends of the elevator 24. An adjusting mechanism 26 is provided in connection with one of the pulleys 25 to effect movement of said pulley. A V-belt I0fis connected between the pulleys 25 on which is connected as previously described, the peg II. The flights 2l are spot-welded to the portions I6 of the pegs. Plate members 28 are Welded to the insides of the elevator 24, and extend toward the belt l below the flight 21 and form a bottom for the elevator.
From the foregoing description it is obvious that a novel belt construction has been provided, and also a simple and inexpensive method of securing pegs, flights, and buckets on the belt. Other methods of carrying out the present invention may occur to those skilled in the art, however, I do not intend to limit the invention to the precise details shown and described except as set forth in the appended claims.
What is claimed is: 1. A belt for a conveyer having a first side, second and third sides extending in spaced relation from the first side and adapted to engage a pulley, and grooves formed in the second and third sides above the pulley-engaging portions of said second and third sides.
2. A belt conveyer comprising a belt having a rst side, second and third sides extending in spaced relation from the first side and adapted to engage a pulley, grooves formed in the second and third sides above the pulley-engaging portions of said second and third sides, an element straddling the belt and engaging the grooves in the second and third sides of the belt, and means for securing said element on the belt.
3. A belt conveyer comprising a b-elt having a first side, second and third sides extending in spaced relation from the first side and adapted to engage a pulley, grooves formed in the second and third sides above the pulley-engaging portions of said second and third sides, a U-shaped member straddling the belt and engaging the grooves therein, and means connecting the sides of the U-shaped member for securing the member n the belt. l 4. A belt conveyer comprising a belt having a rst side, second and third sides extending in spaced relation from the first side and adapted to engage a pulley, grooves formed in the second and third sides above the pulley-engaging portions of said second and third sides, a U-shaped member straddling the belt and engaging the grooves therein, a securing element connecting the sides of the U-shaped member for securing said member on said belt, and a retaining clip disposed between one side of the belt and the securing element.
5. A conveyer comprising a V-belt having a rst side, second and third pulley contacting sides extending in spaced relation from the rst side and grooves formed in the second and third sides above the pulley-engaging portions thereof, an element straddling the belt and engaging the grooves formed therein and the first side of the belt, and means for securing said element in the grooves. A
6. A conveyer belt having a surface adapted to contact a pulley, a second surface spaced from the first surface, and recesses formed in the belt between the rst and second surfaces, an element straddling the belt and engaging the recesses, means for securing said element to said recesses, and retaining means disposed between the second surface of the belt and said element.
7. A belt type conveyer comprising a flexible belt having a pulley engaging inner portion and an outer portion formed with spaced longitudinally extending attaching beads, and a plurality of conveyer elements secured to said beads.
8. A belt type conveyer comprising a belt consisting of flexible material, said belt being provided with an inner pulley engaging portion adapted to engage a driving and a driven pulley and an outer portion including continuous recesses forming spaced laterally projecting attaching portions, and a plurality of conveyer elements having attaching portions fitted over the attaching portions on the belt.
