Abstract

Improved conveyor installation by drag plates, of the type integrated by a plurality of modules articulated successively to form a horizontal continuous displaceable surface, characterized essentially because each module comprises as essential elements an upper plate that together with the plates of similar modules will constitute the horizontal transport surface because each of said plates is linked to a support piece, through a central axis on which it pivots freely; because said support piece is arranged transversely to the advance of the movable track, constituted by the plates, said support piece having at both ends, two sliding bearings driven in respective lateral guides; because said support piece is integral with arms related by spacers, said arms being hingedly joined at their ends to similar arms, forming an articulated assembly centered on the axis of longitudinal symmetry of the conveyor surface; because between the set of arms and in the axes of articulation thereof there is a vertical eye wheel with free rotation, driven between integral profiles of a longitudinal guide; in that each of said wheels presents, alternatively, an axial prolongation, to its axis constituting a driving arm that is taken successively by the rollers of an endless belt driven by conventional motive means; and because the aforementioned plates, constitutive of the surface or conveyor track, are overlapping, so that the edge of one hides the axis of rotation of the adjacent one, obtaining a surface without solution of continuity.
