Conveyor belt wear protection

Details

Inventors: Barrett, William T.;
Assignee: Wehr Corporation (Milwaukee, WI)
Primary Examiner: Blunk; Evon C.
Assistant Examiner: Valenza; Joseph E.
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

Wear protection for a conveyor belt is provided by metal plates detachably connected to the belt along its length and located in the central area of the belt. The plates are constructed and arranged relative to each other to prevent foreign matter from becoming lodged between the plates and the belt surface. Cleats are provided on the plates.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A wear protected coveyor belt comprising, in combination, an elongated belt having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of plates, means connecting said plates to a surface of said belt with said plates aligned longitudinally on and covering a generally continuous length of said belt, said plates being spaced inwardly from the longitudinal edges of said belt so that said plates cover the central area of said belt and leave an area of said belt adjacent the longitudinal edges thereof exposed, said plates also having a bowed configuration in a plane generally normal to said belt surface and parallel to said longitudinal belt axis and said plates having opposite plate edges, and means defining a cleat attached to a plurality of said plates at points spaced along said longitudinal axis, said cleats projecting laterally from said plates and relative to said belt and also extending generally normal to said longitudinal axis.
2.
A wear protected conveyor belt comprising, in combination, an elongated belt having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of plates, means connecting said plates to a surface of said belt with said plates aligned longitudinally on and covering a generally continuous length of said belt, said plates being spaced inwardly from the longitudinal edges of said belt so that said plates cover the central area of said belt and leave an area of said belt adjacent the longitudinal edges thereof exposed, said plates also having a bowed configuration in a plane generally normal to said belt surface and parallel to said longitudinal belt axis and said plates having opposite plate edges with the edges of adjacent ones of said plates abutting, and means defining a cleat attached to a plurality of said plates at points spaced along said longitudinal axis, said cleats projecting laterally from said plates and relative to said belt and extending generally normal to said longitudinal axis.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to conveyors and conveyor belts and, more particularly, to the prevention of wear in such belts
