Assembly for hingedly couplling parts of a conveyor, and hinge pin

摘要

An assembly for hingedly coupling parts of a conveyor comprising a first conveyor part (2) provided with a row of hinge eyes positioned in alignment, and an end hinge eye (7b) with an enlarged hinge hole (8b) which is positioned somewhat out of alignment and with a locking surface adjacent to the hinge hole and positioned in alignment The assembly further comprises a second part (3) such that the conveyor parts can cooperate in a coupled condition by receiving hinge eyes in corresponding interspaces, and a hinge pin provided with a central body part (3) such that the conveyor parts can cooperate in a coupled condition by receiving hinge eyes in corresponding interspaces and a hinge pin provided with a central body part (15) with a thickened head (16) which is able to pass the end hinge hole (8b), but not the next hinge hole (12) in coupled condition. In coupled condition the thickened head (16) is located between the end hinge eye and the next hinge eye (14) such that the hinge pin is axially locked between the e locking surface of the end hinge eye on the one side and the next hinge eye on the other side The thickened head (16) bears a projection which reaches into the hinge hole of end hinge eye in coupled condition.
