Abstract
The load supporting and moving surface of the conveyor is made up of longitudinal members called slats. The slats are edge to edge with small gaps between the edges. The slats are supported on bearing parts and bearing strips which are supported on longitudinal beams which are evenly spaced and extending lengthwise of the cargo space of the conveyance in which the conveyor is installed.
The longitudinal beams are supported by and fastened to the cross beams of the conveyance. The longitudinal beams, bearing strips, bearing parts and slats of the conveyor are all installable from directly above the cross beams. The slats are held in place vertically by interlocking with the bearing parts. There is a juncture formed at every contact between a longitudinal beam and a cross beam. Bearing parts are installed a 10% to 50% of the junctures. The conveyor also comprises means to reciprocate the slats a stroke length. The longitudinal length of each bearing part is between 0.5 and 0.95 of the stroke length.

Claims (5)
1. A reciprocating slat conveyor, comprising:
a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart transverse frame members;
a plurality of laterally spaced apart longitudinal bearing support beams supported on and connected to the transverse frame members;
a plurality of bearing members on said longitudinal bearing support beams where at least some of the bearing support beams are supported on and are connected to the transverse frame members, said bearing members each having a top that is on its longitudinal bearing support beam, sidewalls depending from the top on each side of the longitudinal support beam, notches in said sidewalls which receive portions of the transverse frame members, and lock flanges extending inwardly from the sidewalls of the bearing members into positions below the longitudinal bearing support beams, whereby the lock flanges hold the bearing members on the bearing support beams and the positioning of the transverse frame members in the notches prevents the bearing members from moving longitudinally along the bearing support beams;
bearing strips on the bearing support beams between the bearing members, said bearing strips having tops at substantially the same level as the tops on the bearing members, wherein the tops of the bearing members and the tops on the bearing strips form a substantially continuous bearing surface; and an elongated conveyor slat for each bearing support beam, said conveyor slat having tops that sit down on the tops of the bearing members and the tops of the bearing strips.
a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart transverse frame members;
a plurality of laterally spaced apart longitudinal bearing support beams supported on and connected to the transverse frame members;
a plurality of bearing members on said longitudinal bearing support beams where at least some of the bearing support beams are supported on and are connected to the transverse frame members, said bearing members each having a top that is on its longitudinal bearing support beam, sidewalls depending from the top on each side of the longitudinal support beam, notches in said sidewalls which receive portions of the transverse frame members, and lock flanges extending inwardly from the sidewalls of the bearing members into positions below the longitudinal bearing support beams, whereby the lock flanges hold the bearing members on the bearing support beams and the positioning of the transverse frame members in the notches prevents the bearing members from moving longitudinally along the bearing support beams;
bearing strips on the bearing support beams between the bearing members, said bearing strips having tops at substantially the same level as the tops on the bearing members, wherein the tops of the bearing members and the tops on the bearing strips form a substantially continuous bearing surface; and an elongated conveyor slat for each bearing support beam, said conveyor slat having tops that sit down on the tops of the bearing members and the tops of the bearing strips.
2. The reciprocating slat conveyor of claim 1, wherein the bearing members have downwardly and outwardly extending outer side portions, each terminating in a shoulder, and the floor slats have sides with lower portions and flanges that project laterally inwardly from the lower portions, said bottom flange defining a lateral space between them, whereby the slats can be pushed down on the bearing members and the bottom flanges will slide down the sides of the bearing members and move into a position below the shoulders, and whereby in response to an upward movement of a slat, the shoulders on the bearing members will contact the flanges on the slats and prevent the slats from moving up off of the bearing members.
3. The reciprocating slat conveyor of claim 2, wherein the bearing strips have sidewalls that are spaced apart a distance that is substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the lateral space between the bottom flanges of the conveyor slats.
4. The reciprocating slat conveyor of claim 1, wherein the tops of the conveyor slats are of a predetermined width and vertical walls project downwardly from the tops and include outwardly projecting lower flange portions, and said bearing members include side portions which widen as they extend downwardly and have a lower edge that is positioned to be above a flange on each side of the conveyor slat, so that an upward force of the conveyor slat will cause the flangesto contact the lower edges of the side member, and such contact will prevent upward movement of the conveyor slat up off from the bearing members.
5. The reciprocating slat conveyor of claim 4, wherein the sides of the bearing members are laterally springable inwardly, so that the conveyor slats can be positioned with the flanges on a confronting side of a bearing member and a downward movement of the conveyor slat will cause the flanges to slide downwardly along the sides of the bearing members until the flanges are positioned below a lower edge on a side of a bearing member.
