Conveyor for light goods, and connection piece for beam sides of a conveyor. The conveyor has a first supporting guide arrangement ( 10 ) for controlling the conveyor chain ( 11 ) in an operational direction, a second guide arrangement ( 17 ) for controlling the conveyor chain in the return direction, and a deflector wheel arrangement ( 20 ) (FIG. 3 ) at both ends of the first and second guide arrangements. The first guide arrangement ( 10 ) is made up of beam sides ( 10 a , 10 b) which between them form a space which narrows in the direction towards the second guide arrangement ( 17 ). A two-part connection piece ( 12 ) which has a wedge-shaped element ( 12 a) fixes the position of the beam sides by means of a wedging effect between the wedge-shaped-element of the connection piece and a complementary recess in the second element ( 12 b) of the connection piece. A tensioning bolt ( 13 ) inserted at right angles between the plane of the conveyor chain of the guide arrangements generates said wedging effect. Between the beam sides ( 10 a , 10 b) there is a drainage gap ( 15 ), and the underside of the conveyor chain is protected against contamination by the base part of the second guide arrangement ( 17 ) shaped as a U-beam. |
