Apparatus for controlling the conveyor speed of moving conveyor means

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Seed and Berry LLP

In moving conveyors or treadmills with variable inclination, there is provided an apparatus for controlling the conveyor speeds, which apparatus comprises a brake band with the aid of which the circumference of a friction disk fixed for rotation with a driven shaft can be acted upon. With the aid of the control apparatus the moving conveyor is the more strongly braked the higher the inclination is that has been chosen for the moving conveyor so as to guarantee that the predetermined conveyor speed is always observed during operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for controlling the conveyor speed of moving conveyor means preamble, said apparatus guaranteeing in an inexpensive manner that the moving conveyor moves in a controlled manner at all inclinations (gradients).
In other words, the invention is to ensure that the moving conveyor does not rotate faster than intended when used by a runner at gradients (inclinations) of more than about 2%.
The technical progress which can be achieved with the present invention must primarily be seen in the creation of a means which is very efficient despite its low costs and is used for controlling the conveyor speed, namely with the aid of the friction band which acts on the driven shaft and whose contact force (braking force) depends on the respectively selected conveyor inclination.
