Bucket elevator with continuous belt conveyor - has brackets to support buckets, to give elevator transverse strength

摘要

The bucket elevator consists of a continuous flat belt (1). The belt is fitted with studs (8) with countersunk heads. The studs are equally spaced, and each stud holds an S-bracket (3) with a flat face (3b) parallel to the belt and standing proud from it. The bucket (2) for the elevator has a back plate joined to two consecutive brackets (3). The bucket is held to the bracket by bolts and a holding plate (6). The holding system gives transversal stability to the elevator.
