The drive mechanism () has a drive member () and a flexible conveying member (). The engaging elements () of the drive member () have an engaging element spacing (t), while the associated counter elements () of the conveyor memberhave a counter element spacing (t). According to the invention the engaging element spacing (t) of the engaging elements () is larger than the counter element spacing (t) of the counter elements () of the conveying member in order to compensate for conveyor member stretching in operation. In a preferred embodiment the conveying member is a flexible conveyor chain and the drive member () is a toothed drive wheel. In another preferred embodiment the ratio of the engaging element spacing (t) of the drive member () to the counter element spacing (t) of the conveying member () is between about 1.01 and about 1.10.

Drive mechanism for a conveyor with stretching compensation means

A device ( ) for fastening components ( ) has a mounting element ( ), which rests each with a respective joining face ( ) on the components ( ) to be connected, and which is covered with a cap ( ). The cap ( ) has extensions ( ), which positively engage recesses ( ) embodied on the mounting element ( ). This assures a secure hold of the cap ( ) even after a relatively long time.

Device for fastening components

A mounting element ( ) for securing components, in particular profile bars, and a cap ( ) for covering the mounting element ( ) are provided. Indentations ( ) are provided in lateral ribs ( ) of the mounting element ( ) and/or of the cap ( ). This makes the grip better and/or facilitates aligning the mounting element ( ) and/or the cap ( ).
