Abstract
A separator assembly for transfer mechanisms particularly of the type used in the handling and transfer of non-ambulatory hospital patients and including an endless belt trained about a thin, flexible separator plate, a retainer bar adjustably positioned along the rear edge of the separator plate and a drive roller supported by the retainer bar on the edge thereof opposite from the separator plate. An organization of camming bars extend between the retainer bar and the rear edge of the separator plate to adjust the distance between the retainer bar and the separator plate thus to regulate the tension of the belt trained about the drive roller, retainer bar and separator plate. The camming bars may be operated either to adjust the distance between the drive roller and the front edge separator plate in parallel relationship or in canted relationship for belt tracking purposes.
