1,114,844. Endless conveyers. SOLAR THOMSON ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. 3 June, 1965 [2 Oct., 1964], No. 40265/64. Heading B8A. A conveyer 10 comprises an endless chain of buckets connected by pairs of pivot pins 18 at right angles to each other. The conveyer 10 runs through a smooth flexible guide-tube 11 made of a plastics material which can be secured to supports as required. Each bucket is moulded from plastics in two parts 12, 13, each part having two lugs 15 and one lug 16 at their trailing and leading edges, respectively, with holes at right angles one to the other. A coupling piece 17 fits between the lugs 16 of a given bucket and the lugs 15 of the preceding bucket being retained by a pivot pin 18. The pair of pivot pins 18 mutually at right angles provide a universal joint between adjacent buckets.
