According to the present invention there is provided a skimming derice for skimming a layer of material from a conveyor belt clamped to s support prior to joining two ends of the conveyor belt together, said device including a body having: engaging means for engaging the support so that the device can be moved along the support; and a skimming blade for skimming a strip of a surface layer of material from a major surface of the conveyor belt adjacent one end of the conveyor belt as the skim.,ing device is moved along the support.

I
This invention relates to a skimming device f skimming a layer of material from a conveyor belt.
According to the invention a skimming device for skimming a layer of material from a conveyor belt prior to applying a fastener to the conveyor belt includes a body having: engaging means f.r engaging support means which is adapted to clamp the free transverse end of the brelt to itself; and a blade for skimming a layer of material from the belt as the skimming device is moved along the support means whilst in engagement with the support means.
S*The support means may comprise a frame upon which a longitudinally extending clamp is mounted for clamping the conveyor belt in position. A longitudinally extending bed S may also be mounted on the support frame. In a preferred form of the invention when the conveyor belt is clamped to the frame by the clamp, the free transverse end of the belt lies on the bed. The bed may be adapted to receive a lacing head for securing the fastener to the belt.
Preferably the support means is a lacing machine without its lacing head.
The engaging means may engage the bed of the lacing machine, and preferably the engaging means is a slide which can slide within a slideway provided in the bed.
The skimming device may include drive merns for S drivingly engaging the lacing machine. Preferably the S drive means is a pinion which can engage the bed in rack and pinion fashion, with the rack being provided on the bed. Thus as the pinion is rotated, the skimming devicc moves along the bed with the slide sliding within the slideway. The slide may include an aperture through which part of the pinion projects.
The pinion may be rotated via a gear train.
Preferably the gear train provides a reduction ratio of approximately 3 to 1. A crank handle may be provided for rotating the gears of the gear train and the crank handle 39 may be able to be disengaged from the gear train.
The blade may be adjustably mounted to the body of the skimming device so that the thickness of the layer of material skimmed from the conveyor belt can be varied by adjusting the position of the blade relative to the body.
A shoe may be mounted on the body for sliding along the top of the belt as the skirming device moves along the lacing machine. Preferably the shoe is located on the body in front of the biade so that the thickness of the layer of material skimmed from the belt can be determined by the gap between the shoe and blade.
The scope of the invention extends to the skimming device in combination with the support means and also to the support means for the skimming device.
The invention will now be described by way of a non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the skimming device in use; and Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views of the skimming device.
Referring to the drawings a skimming device includes a body 12 having a slide 14 engageable with a slideway 16 of a lacing machine 18. The skimming device has a pinion 20 which partially protrudes through a slot 22 in the slide 14. The pinion 20 engages with a rack 24 provided on a bed 26 of the lacing machine. The rack 24 comprises a plurality of spaced holes in the bed.
The pinion 20 is driven by a gear train 28 which provides a reduction ratio of 3:1. The gears of the gear train 28 are rotated via a handle 30 which can be disengaged from the gear train to prevent the handle rotating when the skimming device is placed in position on the lacing machine.
A blade 32 for skimming a layer of material 34 from a conveyor belt 36 is mounted on a bracket 38. The bracket 38 is adjustably mounted on the pressure shoe 42 via bolts 40. The pressure shoe 42 is mounted to the body 12 in front of the blade 32. The shoe is located in 39 position via a bolt 44 and a trangular block 46, and also
MJP
secured to the body via the bolt 44.
The conveyor belt 36 is clamped to the lacinig machine 18 by a clamp 48. Legs 50 support the lau:i. machine in a raised position.
When it is desired to join two conveyor belttogether, the skimming device is used in conjunction with the lacing machine to remove a layer 34 of the conveyor belt. The handle 30 is rotated and the skimming device moves along the lacing machine 18 with the blade removing the layer 34 from the conveyor belt. Thus reduces the thickness of the belt to enable belt fastening clips to be fitted over the end of the belt once the skimming device 00o o has been removed from the lacing machine. The fasteners are then secured to the belt by a lacing head (not shown) used in conjunction with the lacing machine.
The invention has the advantage that a lacing machine which was previously used only to fasten the fastening clips to the belt can now also be used for skimming a layer of material from the conveyor belt.
It can be appreciated that many modifications or variations of the invention are possible without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. For example, a suitable support other than a lacing machine could be used to support the skimming device. Such a support could consist of a bed for the skimming device, a clamp for clamping the conveyor belt, and legs for supporting the bed and the clamp in a raised position.
