Abstract

See full text

An octogonally configured cam has four flats located radially outward a greater distance than the four intervening flats. The various flats are successively engageable with a pivotal arm to engage and disengage a clutch mechanism and thus start and stop an endless belt conveyor along with the starting and stopping of a cylindrical brush. Both the conveyor and brush are ground-driven through a chain and cog wheels, the size of the cog wheels being such that the brush is rotated at faster speed than the conveyor. The position of an indicating rod signifies when the clutch mechanism is engaged or disengaged.
