Scraper bar assembly for endless conveyor belt

摘要

A scraper assembly is pivotally supported for biased engagement with the outer surface of a moving conveyor belt to clean the belt surface. The scraper assembly includes a plurality of scraper bars spaced along the length of an elongate carrier which is disposed transverse to the side edges of the belt. Each scraper belt is removably mounted on the carrier, and the bars on opposite sides of the center line of the belt are parallel to one another and inclined at an angle with respect to the bent center line. Adjacent ones of the parallel bars have side edges which overlap with respect to an imaginary line intersecting the edges and extending parallel to the bent center line. The scraper bars engage the belt surface, and material clinging to the surface is displaced laterally outwardly toward the opposite sides of the belt.
