Abstract
A conveyor trough for a scraper chain conveyor comprises a sheet metal bracket which is adapted to be secured to one side of the side wall of the conveyor trough, namely the waste side. The sheet metal bracket has an outwardly bent cover leg. An attached bracket is secured to the inside surface of the metal bracket on the side facing the conveyor trough and it is made of a resiliently bending material which projects upwardly from the cover leg and has a loop forming bend at its top forming the upper edge thereof and an outwardly extending stabilizing leg which is propped against the cover leg of the metal bracket. The stabilizing leg is advantageously bent back toward the vertical, so that intermediate its height it forms a bend which engages over a sectional strip to hold the strip between it and the vertical interior leg portion of the resiliently bending metal bracket. The sheet metal strip has a concavely recessed portion on its side adjacent the stabilizing leg into which the stabilizing leg bears so that its lower end is curved outwardly and overlies the cover leg and is propped against a stop strip secured along the outer edge of the cover leg.
