Abstract
The pans of a scraper-chain conveyor are interconnected with a dog-bone type connector which fits into laterally open shaped pockets in the side walls of the pans. A projection on one of the ends of the connector engages in a recess closed off from the side access while a projection at the opposite end of the connector is locked in place with a swivelled-in locking plate. The plate fits into compartments in the side wall of the associated pan. The plate carries a resilient pin at one end which fits into recesses in one of the compartments while the opposite end of the plate has a tongue which snaps into a recess in the base of the opposite compartment.
