Device for absorbing large loads - has telescopic conveyor system with three drives for moving load across given distance

摘要

Girders (2, 3) running beneath a conveyor belt (29, 30) help support a large load placed on the belt (29, 30). Sliding guides (10, 14), within the girders (2, 3), allow support at the most extended position of the conveyor. The whole apparatus is supported by a base (1) onto which the girders (2, 3) are placed and are driven by gears (36, 37) protected by striking surfaces (38, 39) for absorbing the load. Once the load is placed on the belt, only one drive is required to move it, that for the slider. ADVANTAGE - Protects driving mechanisms of conveyor system from damage due to heavy loads. Gives extended distance for moving heavy objects with added stability.
