Abstract
A support for the guide rail of a conveyor which enables the guide rail to be adjusted among a plurality of pre-set positions in a quick and simple manner with precision. The guide rail is supported by a generally horizontal support post which is supported by a vertical stanchion on the frame of the conveyor alongside the conveyor belt. The post has a latch pin and is mounted for slidable axial movement in the stanchion and is axially biased to urge the latch pin toward the stanchion. The stop member comprises a hollow cylindrical member slidably and rotatably mounted on the post between the pin and the stanchion. The end of the stop member confronting the latch pin has a plurality of receptacles to receive the latch pin, the axial depth of the receptacles are different to provide different positions for the post and thereby the guide rail.
