Claim 11:
12. A resilient mounting assembly for a belt cleaner for a conveyor belt, the resilient mounting assembly comprising:
a mounting plate for being fixed to a conveyor structure and having an opening to allow a support member to extend therethrough, the support member configured to allow belt cleaner blades of the belt cleaner to be mounted thereto;
a plurality of circumferentially spaced guide blocks having arcuate guide surfaces each having the same radius of curvature, the plurality of guide blocks secured to the mounting plate such that the arcuate guide surfaces have the same radial distance to a central axis of rotation; and
a rotatable cradle plate mounted to extend between the guide blocks and having the support member and belt cleaner blades operatively secured thereto for rotation therewith, the cradle plate having an outer arcuate periphery with a radius of curvature corresponding to the radius of curvature of the arcuate guide surfaces such that rotation of the cradle plate about the central axis relative to the mounting plate is guided by the arcuate guide surfaces.
