Abstract:
A scraper arrangement for use with a conveyor belt comprising an elongate member having an elongate axis, at least one scraper blade is mounted to the elongate member laterally with respect to the elongate axis, a support for the elongate member which allows at least limited rotation of the elongate member around the elongate axis and relatively to the conveyor belt and to the support with the scraper blade in scraping engagement with the belt, a tubular component which is mounted for at least limited rotation relatively to the elongate member and which has at least one angular inner surface, an angular extension member which extends from and which is fixed to the elongate member and which is located at least partly inside the tubular component, at least one resiliently deformable torsion element, at least partly inside the tubular component, which acts between the angular inner surface and the extension member, and a locking device for retaining the tubular component at a selected angular orientation with the torsion element in a deformed state.
