Patent ID: 6964334

Claim:
An improved slider block for mounting on a chain mounted pusher lug, the slider block comprising: a flanged channel having a lug receiving slot and a cut-out cooperating therewith in a lower web of said flanged channel to accommodate mounting a flat bar of the pusher lug journalled in said cut-out, wherein said flanged channel is resilient and covers the length of a base plate of the pusher lug on which the flat bar is orthogonally mounted, wherein opposite sides of said channel define a cavity having a depth corresponding to a thickness of the base plate, and wherein a pair of flanges extend inwardly in opposed facing relation over said cavity from said sides of said channel so as to define a chain-receiving slot therebetween, so that when the base plate is mounted within said cavity, the chain on which the base plate is mounted mates in and along the chain-receiving slot, and the flat bar mates in the cut-out.
