Abstract
A modular skirt board clamp and saddle assembly for a bulk material conveyor includes a plurality of individual saddle frames which extend transversely of the direction of belt movement, arranged in longitudinal side-by-side relation, and each frame supporting a plurality of polymeric low friction blocks or segments, defining a belt supporting surface. Skirt board support arms are positioned at each lateral side of the assembly with lower ends joined to one of the lateral ends of the saddle frames, and extending vertically above the segments and transversely toward the opposite side. A pair of skirt boards are supported in clamping segments or plates, mounted on the arms, in which one of the clamping plates is fixed to the inner end of the arm, and the other is movable by a hand-operated, toggle mechanism. The belt is supported in immediate underlying relation to the skirt boards by elongated polymeric support segments which extend in common to each of the saddle frames.
