CONVEYOR

摘要

A conveyor suitable for carrying food trays has a channel shaped track with horizontal supporting surfaces on opposite sides of the track. A conveyor chain supported for movement longitudinally of the track has a series of supporting slats connected thereto and extending laterally therefrom. Outer portions of the slats are supported by the supporting surfaces. Connecting members that are separable from their respective slats, detachably connect the slats to the chain. Each connecting member has an upper section to which a respective slat is connected and two side sections extending downwardly from the side edges of the upper section. Each connecting member is open at the bottom in order to receive the chain between the side sections. Higher level slats and lower level slats are arranged in alternating fashion along a chain. The top of each lower level slat is located slightly below the bottom of the adjacent higher level slat.
