The present invention provides a material conveying device including a material conveying groove, having a traveling track; a material bearing and conveying assembly, including: an annular chain; traveling units arranged on the chain at intervals, drivable by the chain to move on the traveling track along a material conveying direction, and provided with a bottom surface close to the material conveying groove, a top surface opposite the bottom surface and side surfaces extending between the top and bottom surfaces; a belt-shaped elastic material bearing portion, connected to the top surfaces and/or the side surfaces of the two adjacent traveling units; and a driving device to drive the chain to circularly rotate relative to the material conveying groove along the material conveying direction. The working state of material conveying equipment can be improved, and the stability and economic index of the equipment can be enhanced.

A product conveying device (10) for automatic dispensers is described, comprising a supporting element (1), configured to support the product being delivered, a thrusting element (3) sliding connected on guiding means (5) to the supporting element (1), at least one pair of worm screws (2), counter-rotating with synchronous movement, rotating connected to the supporting element (1) and to the thrusting element (3), to advance the thrusting element (3) along the guiding means (5) in order to thrust the product towards a terminal end (A) of the supporting element (1), to make it fall towards an outlet mouth from the automatic dispenser.

A flight conveyor for conveying articles while preventing injuries to an operator, the flight conveyor comprising a frame defining a trough, a drive system defining a rotating pathway and at least one flight driven by the drive system along the rotating pathway for conveying the articles through the trough, wherein the at least one flight is detachably fastened to the drive system and configured to be detached when subjected to a resistive force capable of injuring an operator.

A combine feeder slat having a first base, a second base, and a slat body. The bases are located at respective ends of the slat, and have respective upper and lower surfaces. The slat body extends longitudinally and connects the bases. The slat body has a variable profile as viewed along the longitudinal direction, that transitions from a first profile shape at the first base, to an intermediate profile shape between the first base and the second base, to a second profile shape at the second base. The intermediate profile shape includes a front lip, a rear lip, and an upward-facing concave projection that connects the front lip to the rear lip and extends below an attachment plane defined between the first lower surface and the second lower surface. The first base, second base, and slat body are made from a unitary metal part.

A link for a conveyor chain includes a first portion and a second portion laterally spaced apart from the first portion. The first portion includes a first sprocket-engaging pin, and the second portion includes a second sprocket-engaging pin. The first sprocket-engaging pin and the second sprocket-engaging pin protrude laterally away from one another. The first sprocket-engaging pin and the second sprocket-engaging pin may each have an oblong cross-section. At least one retainer can secure a connecting pin against movement relative to at least one of the first portion and the second portion, and each retainer can be positioned substantially within one of the first portion and the second portion.
