Title: Rod retention system for plastic conveyor belts
Inventor: PALMAER ERIC K
IPC: B65G17/08
Filed: 1999-11-03
Abstract: Rod retention systems are disclosed for modular plastic conveyor belts. In one embodiment the connecting rods (16), which pass through interdigited link ends (20) of successive modules (11-14), each include a circumferential groove (34) at one location, receiving a retaining clip (22) at a position between adjacent interdigited link ends, snapped into position in the groove. The retaining clip provides easy assembly using existing tools, and a rod can easily be removed from the belt by applying sharp force on the end of the rod. In a second embodiment a rod retention system has blocking members (60) at both ends of each module row, forming edges of the belt. A space about two or three link ends wide extends laterally from the blocking member; within the space the module is devoid of link end structure which would confine the rod from the bottom of the belt. The rod is forced into a bending configuration for insertion and removal from the bottom of the belt, and assumes a substantially straightened, normal configuration after insertion. In another embodiment the belt has an opening at the location of the location of the blocking structure, aligned with the series of link end openings, but the rod end is pre-formed in a bent configuration. In a further embodiment the rods each have heads (114) on one end, and the heads reside inboard of the blocking structure in the assembled belt.

Abstract: An end cap for a corrugated conduit, attachable to the open end of conduit preferably corrugated conduit. The end cap has a cylindrical skirt portion and an end piece, a plurality of inwardly-directed latching tabs spaced around the cylindrical skirt portion and which are springingly deflectable in a radially outward direction when the latching tabs are forceably urged over the corrugated conduit open end. The latching tabs spring inwardly when the diameter of the corrugated conduit decreases, thereby latching the end cap over the open end. The end cap may further have an arcuate configuration for the end piece where the cylindrical skirt portion has an inside diameter greater than the outside diameter of the corrugated conduit. The end piece may also have an axially-directed aperture with a center not centered on the axis of the corrugated conduit. The axially-directed aperture may have a plurality of deflectable radially inwardly-directed tabs which tabs firmly press against a smooth-walled conduit, such as a pipe or hose, which may be inserted into the axially-directed aperture. The curvature of the end piece and the location of the axially-directed aperture may be formed as desired and determine angle of entry of a conduit inserted into the axially-directed aperture, thereby providing variable entry positions and angles as required for a particular conduit or application.
