CONVEYOR BELT CLEANING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017936 titled 'CONVEYOR BELT CLEANING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a conveyor belt cleaning apparatus designed to clean a conveyor belt. It consists of a housing with an upper and lower portion. The upper portion has walls that define its shape and an interior volume with upper and lower openings. Inside the upper portion, there is a moveable cleaning member support element. This support element has multiple finger-like cleaning members extending upward from it. The lower portion of the housing consists of two adjacent cone-shaped segments that are connected to a vacuum source. The cleaning member support element is connected to a movement member that allows for upward and downward movement.

  • The invention is a conveyor belt cleaning apparatus that effectively cleans conveyor belts.
  • The apparatus consists of a housing with an upper and lower portion.
  • The upper portion of the housing has walls and an interior volume with openings.
  • Inside the upper portion, there is a moveable cleaning member support element.
  • The support element has finger-like cleaning members that extend upward.
  • The lower portion of the housing consists of two cone-shaped segments connected to a vacuum source.
