Abstract:
A guide structure for a chain for an article conveyor is disclosed. The guide structure includes a guide tor guiding the chain along a direction of movement of the chain and having at least two rails each delimiting a respective guide channel for at least partly accommodating the chain. An accompanying means for supporting the chain and accompanying it into the guide channel, wherein the accompanying means comprises a contact surface) adapted to be in contact with the chain while the chain is accompanied into the guide channel. A fixing means for keeping the accompanying means in fixed position with respect to the guide. And, an adjusting means for adjusting a position of the accompanying means generally orthogonal to the direction of movement of the chain to adjust the angular position of the accompanying means with respect to the guide in at least a first and a second angular positions.

Claim (Index 1):
Guide structure for a chain for an article conveyor, said guide structure comprising:\n a guide for, in use, guiding a chain along a first direction being a direction of movement of the chain, wherein the guide comprises at least two rails, each one extending along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, each pair of rails delimiting, along a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions, a respective guide channel for, in use, at least partly accommodating the chain, an accompanying means for supporting the chain and accompanying it into the guide channel, wherein the accompanying means comprises a contact surface adapted to be in contact with the chain while the chain is accompanied into the guide channel, a fixing means for keeping the accompanying means in fixed position with respect to the guide, and an adjusting means for adjusting a position of the accompanying means along the second direction, wherein the adjusting means is adapted to adjust the angular position of the accompanying means with respect to the guide in at least a first and a second angular positions, wherein in the first angular position the minimum distance of the contact surface from the first surface along the second direction has a first distance value, and in the second angular position the minimum distance of the contact surface from the first surface along the second direction has a second distance value, the second distance value being different from the first distance value, and the fixing means keeping the accompanying means in the adjusted angular position.
