Abstract

Conveyor by drag plates in closed circuit, formed by a succession of articulated plates integrating a continuous transport surface, characterized in that said plates, in conjunction, are arranged with circular edges to facilitate sliding in the turns of the circuit, which are they are mounted on secant crossbars to their circular area, to which they are fixed at their ends, involving, next to them, respective freewheeling support wheels; presenting, in the geometrical center of each plate, a vertical axis carrying a crazy turning wheel mounted by a bearing on said axis, the succession of said wheels constituting the directing assembly of the movement of the circuit, when traveling on lanes configured according to the same, the shaft being, at its lower end, support for the drag element, formed by a piece pushed in its traction by the crossbars of two parallel chains driven in a crawler system; and because the conjunction between the surface plates is carried out by two parallel parts in fork, linkers of the carrier shaft of the driving element in one of them and a rod perpendicular to the center of the supporting beam of the adjacent plate, whose link allows a movement of turn in the turns of the circuit.
