Abstract

A guide profile and a conveying system are disclosed. The conveying system is designed with a guide profile of this type. A slide bar of the guide profile is provided with an articulated leg so that it is possible to change the slide bar on the already installed conveying system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A conveying system comprising:
a profile body configured to support a conveying system chain thereon; and
a slide bar positioned in abutment with the profile body at least in some portions,
wherein the conveying system defines a conveying direction,
wherein the profile body defines a recess,
wherein the slide bar includes an articulated leg configured to be inserted in the recess of the profile body by pivoting or squaring approximately perpendicularly to the conveying direction,
wherein the articulated leg is in the form of an arcuate pivot leg, and
wherein the recess is configured so that the articulated leg is positioned in the recess in an interlocking manner.

2. The conveying system of claim 1 , wherein the articulated leg is formed in a corner region of the slide bar.

3. The conveying system of claim 1 , wherein the slide bar is configured to be inserted into the profile body approximately perpendicularly to a conveying direction.

4. The conveying system of claim 1 , wherein the slide bar is secured in position in an interlocking manner in the conveying direction by way of an undercut on the articulated leg.

5. The conveying system of claim 1 , wherein the slide bar is held in position without engagement.

6. The conveying system of claim 1 , wherein:
the slide bar further includes an extension, and
the articulated leg of the slide bar is formed on the extension.

7. The conveying system of claim 6 , wherein:
the profile body includes a protrusion, and
the extension is positioned in contact with the protrusion.

8. The conveying system of claim 1 , further comprising the conveying system chain, wherein:
the conveying system chain is supported on the profile body with the slide bar being interposed between the profile body and the conveying system chain, and
the conveying system chain rests upon the slide bar thereby holding the slide bar in its final position in relation to the profile body.

9. The conveying system of claim 1 , wherein the conveying system chain is an accumulating roller chain or a flat top chain.

10. A conveying system comprising:
a profile body configured to support a conveying system chain thereon;
a slide bar positioned in abutment with the profile body at least in some portions; and
at least one transport securing mechanism located on an end face of the profile body, wherein:
the conveying system defines a conveying direction,
the profile body defines a recess,
the slide bar includes an articulated leg configured to be inserted in the recess of the profile body by pivoting or squaring approximately perpendicularly to the conveying direction, and
said at least one transport securing mechanism is configured and arranged to hold the slide bar in its final position thereof.

11. The conveying system of claim 10 , wherein:
the articulated leg is in the form of an arcuate pivot leg, and
the recess is configured so that the articulated leg is positioned in the recess in an interlocking manner.

12. A conveying system comprising:
a profile body configured to support a conveying system chain thereon;
a slide bar positioned in abutment with the profile body at least in some portions;
an additional slide bar; and
a first transport securing mechanism and a second transport securing mechanism respectively positioned on two opposing end faces of the profile body, wherein:
the conveying system defines a conveying direction,
the profile body defines a recess,
the slide bar includes an articulated leg configured to be inserted in the recess of the profile body by pivoting or squaring approximately perpendicularly to the conveying direction, and
the first transport securing mechanism and the second transport securing mechanism are configured and arranged to hold the slide bar and the additional slide bar respectively in their final positions thereof.

13. The conveying system of claim 12 , wherein:
the first transport securing mechanism includes a first adhesive tape member,
the second transport securing mechanism includes a second adhesive tape member, and
the first adhesive tape member and the second adhesive tape member are configured and arranged to hold the slide bar and the additional slide bar respectively in their final positions thereof.
