Greenberger, 90 Hallam Road, Buffalo 16, N.Y. Filed Apr. 12, 1960, Ser. No. 21,743 8 Claims. (Cl. 198-208) This invention relates to a belt tightener and more particularly to tighteners for conveyer belts moved over the deck of a sheet metal box, wood or roller bed, or other support having vertical sides to which the body part or casting of the belt -tightener is bolted or otherwise secured, the adjustable parts of the belt tightener supporting the end bearings of the end or return roller of the conveyer in such manner that this roller can be moved toward and from the end of the sheet metal boX or body to adjust the tightness of the belt.
The principal object of the invention is to reduce the number of parts of the belt tightener to a minimum and still achieve a secure mounting for the head and tail pulleys complete with their roller bearings in all positions of adjustment; a powerful yet highly accurate screw adjustment; protection of the screw from accidental mutilation; compactness; andtrim appearance.
Another object is to avoid the necessity for the provision of lefts and rights for parts at opposite sides of the conveyer, the parts being fully interchangeable and useable without modification on either side.
'Another object is to provide sucha belt tightener the I parts of which require little machining and which at the same time is smooth and non-erratic in its adjusting movement.
Another aim is to provide a form of the invention in which the principal parts are arranged inside of the sheet metal box which forms the deck rather than the outside thereof.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a belt Yconveyer having takeups embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a vertical section taken generally along line 2 2, FIG. 1, through the conveyer belt and showing the rest of the parts in elevation.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary side elevational view similar to FIG. 1 and showing the end of the conveyer in greater detail.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary generally horizontal section taken on line 4 4, FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary vertical section taken generally on line 5 5, FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary vertical section taken generally on line 6 6, FIG. 3.
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 illustrating a modified form of the invention.
While the invention is applicable for use as a takeup for the belt of any type of conveyer, it is particularly illustrated in conjunction with a horizontal conveyer having one or more sheet metal boxes indicated generally at 10. This box has an upper deck 11 frorn which vertical side anges 12 project downwardly and these side anges have their lower ends continued in the form of short inwardly projecting strengthening anges 13. This box can be supported at any elevation or at any inclination, as by legs 15 connected to the bottom lianges 13 at suitable intervals.
The belt 16 travels along the upper surface of the deck 11 and is driven by a drive roller (not shown) at one end of this deck. At the opposite end of the deck this belt travels around the end return roller 18 and thence upwardly over one of a series of tracking rollers 19 arranged within the box 10. Each of these tracking rollers 70 19 is shown as having end stub shafts 20 journalled in bearings 21, suitably mounted on the opposing faces of 3,018,8'i5 Patented Jan. 30, 1962 ICS 2 the vertical side flanges 12 and the purpose of these tracking rollers is to support the inoperative or return stretch of the belt 16 inside the box 10 or to guide it in any other desired direction.
To hold the upper operative stretch of the belt 16 in centered relation to the deck 11, the end return roller 18 is preferably of enlarged diameter at its center and is provided with diminishing tapers toward its opposite ends from which stub shafts 22 project. The present invention is concerned with the provision of an adjustable bearing for each of these stub shafts whereby the return yroller 18 can be adjusted lengthwise of and toward and from the end of the box 10 thereby to adjust the tightness of the belt 16.
The belt tighteners at opposite side of the return roller 18 are identical in construction, and in fact the parts are interchangeable without the necessity of providing rights and lefts. Accordingly a description of the belt tightener at one side of the conveyer will be deemed to apply to the belt tightener at the opposite side of the conveyer'.
Each belt tightener includes a body in the form of a metal casting indicated generally at 25. This casting is of generally rectangular form in elevation and is substantially equal in height to the height of the side flanges 12 j ofthe box 10. Each of these castings is secured to the corresponding side ange 12 near the return roller 18V erably the nuts 28 for these bolts are tightened against the outside of the casting 25 so as to be readily accessible.
At one end each casting is formed to provide an integral horizontally outwardly and laterally projecting boss which forms a nut 29V for an adjusting screw 30. This adjusting screw is arranged lengthwise of the casting 25 centrally along its outer face and is provided with an outof-round head 31 at its end remote from the return roller 18 and by means of which the screw s turned to adjust the tightness of the belt.
A feature of the invention resides in the protection of each adjusting screw 30 against accidental injury and to this end the cating 25 is provided with upper and lower horizontally outwardly projecting edge flanges 32. These flanges preferably project outwardly beyond at least the threaded shank of this adjusting belt so as to embrace the same and protect the threads thereof from accidental mutilation. A conventional lock nut 33 tightened against the nut or boss 29 is provided for holding the screw 30 in its adiusted position.
A feature of the invention resides in the provision of a longitudinal groove or recess 34 cast in the face of the casting 25 opposing the side flange 12 of the box 10 and extending from one end thereof to the other. This groove rectangular form in cross section to provide in conjunction with the side ange 12 to which the casting is attached a A guideway enclosed on all four sides and open at its opposite ends. the straight tongue 35 of a bearing holder indicated generally at 36. This bearing holder is in the form of a at plate and to support the bearing the outboard end of the tongue 35 is in the form of an enlargement 38. This enlarged outboard portion of the bearing holder is provided centrally with a large opening 39 through which the adjacent stub shaft 22 extends as best shown in FIG. 4. The end of each stub shaft 22 is journalled in a bearing 40 secured to the outside face of the enlargement 33 in any suitable manner as by the four corner bolts,41 shown. The invention is not concerned with the details of the bearings 40 and any suitable form of bearings can j This guideway snugly receives and guides 0. ment plate indicated generally 21;,42. against Whiclteach, screw 30 bears in providing the desired tightness of the belt. This abutment plate is preferably in the form of a single piece of sheet metal having aV rectangular base or body portion. 43 conforming to the base portion of the bearing 40. and interpo:ed-between each bearingand enlarged portion 38 of the corresponding bearing holder'v 36 and secured by the same bolts 41` which pass therethrough. The base portion 43 of the abutment plate 42 projects beyond the end of each bearing 40 on the side of the screw 30 and is formed to provide an outwardly projecting flange 44 which is preferably perpendicular to the base portion 43V and is preferably reinforced by a diagonal extending return bend 45 at its outboardencLvthis return bend bearing against the base portion '43. This base portion 43 is, of course, provided with a hole 46 in register with the hole 39 and through which the corresponding stubshaft 22 extends.
In the adjustment` ofthe form of the invention shown in FIGS. 1-6, when itis desired to, say, tighten the belt 16, the lock nuts 33 at opposite sides of the conveyer are backed offand the adjusting screws 30 turned, by means of4 their heads 31, to effect the desired tightening of the belt; Thus, as each screw 30 is moved in the direction to tighten the belt itforces againstand moves the flange 44 of the corresponding abutment plate 42l thereby to eX- tend the bearing holder 36 and the return roller 18 jour.. nalledtherein. In this movement the tongue 35 off this bearing holder 36 slides along the slideway jointly provided by the U-shaped groove-34falongthe inner face of the, casting 25 and the opposing outer face of the adjacent, side flange 12 ofthe box 10. After the desiredfadjusteach side ofthe conveyer ment of the belt tightener athas beenachieved, thelock nuts 33 are tightened toV hold this adjustment.
It will particularly benoted that the onepiece or integral casting 25 serves a number of functions. Thus, it serves as amounting for the integral, nut 29 which carries the adjusting screw 30. In addition, its flanges 32 project beyond the shank and'protect the threads of this adjustingA screw. In addition,r this onepiece casting provides the greater part of the guideway for the tongue 35 oftheV bearing holder, the remaining part of this guideway being provided by side flange 12- of the box 10 to which this casting is secured. Itwill also be noted that the abutment 42 against which each screw 3l) works is in the form ofv a very simple sheet metal plate having, in effect, two simple bends and which at the same time provides a sturdy and reliable seat for the end of the` adjustingI screwy 30.
It will also be particularly notedthat the casting 25; bearing holders 36; abutment plates 42; and all'other parts, such as the bearings-40 are directly interchangeable atropposite sides of the conveyer` so that it is unnecessary tovprovide these inY-` rights and lefts thei fact that the casting direction so that in, say, the conveyerto the other upside down. Also,vw hile the bearing support.36,is.not vertically symmetrical, it plate so that in, say, transferring it to the opposite side ofthe conveyer no inversion is necessary.
The formof the invention shown in FIG. 7fis essentially designed to place the belt tightener inside the box instead-of` outside as shown in FIGS. 1 6. The construction ofthe parts is the same as with the preferred construction exceptthat since the adjusting screw is adequately protected there is no necessity for the provision of edge flanges 32 as with the form of the invention shown in-FIGS. 1-6.
