SCREENING PANEL SECURING SYSTEM

摘要

A screening assembly (10) includes at least one rail (14) to be secured to a support member of a screening machine to lie parallel to, and intermediate, side members of the screening machine. At least one locating formation (18) stands proud of an operatively upper surface of each rail (14). The assembly includes a plurality of screening modules (12). Each screening module (12) has an end supported on the rail (14) so that a pair of modules (12) lie in end-to-end abutting relationship with the abutting ends, in use, overlying the rail (12) and defining a receiving formation through which the locating formation (18) protrudes to project beyond the receiving formation into a recessed region defined by the abutting ends of the pair of modules (12). A locking member (46) is associated with the receiving formation and is receivable in the recessed region for engaging its associated locating formation to lock the pair of modules with respect to each other and with respect to the rail (14). An upper surface of the locking member (46), when the locking member is received in the recessed region, lies substantially flush with upper surfaces of the modules (12) of the pair of modules.
