Endless, agricultural, belted-chain conveyor with provision for attaching crop-protecting, sprocket-run covers

摘要

An endless, belted-chain conveyor as customarily employed in various types of agricultural crop-harvesting equipment is provided with elongate attachment devices for receiving and holding accessories designed to protect a harvested crop or other conveyed material from bruising contact with portions of the conveying surface of the conveyor, such as sprocket runs or with stationary side-walls of the conveyor. The attachment devices comprise elongate portions advantageously in the form of cantilevered tongues directed toward the longitudinal axis of the conveying reach of the conveyor and spaced from the conveying surface thereof sufficiently to receive protective accessories that are either attached to such cantilevered tongues or adapted to be so attached.
