Abstract

See full text

A breakaway conveyor discharge member received between first and second conveying surfaces is provided. The conveyor discharge member is received by a bracket mounted on a frame connected between the first and second conveying surfaces. The conveyor discharge member includes a generally planar surface between the first and second conveying surfaces. The conveyor discharge member can withstand a vertical load substantially greater than a particular longitudinal load on the planar surface. Under normal operating conditions, the conveyor discharge member conveys the object from the first conveyor surface onto the intake conveying surface. Under jam conditions, when the substantially longitudinal load is great enough, the conveyor discharge member dislodges from the brackets to protect the first and second conveying surfaces by eliminating the jam point.
