# Manually adjustable conveyor belt guiderail and related methods

## Abstract

An apparatus is for supporting a guiderail for guiding one or more articles conveyed along a conveyor having a conveying path in a conveying direction. The apparatus includes a support rail and at least one movable support for adjusting a position of the guiderail relative to the conveyor in a direction transverse to the conveying direction. The at least one movable support includes a collapsible support for engaging the support rail and supporting the guiderail. The collapsible support is adapted to extend and retract into the conveying path in a direction transverse to the conveying direction to selectively position the guiderail relative to the support rail. The movable support includes a clamp for fixing a location of the movable support relative to the support rail. Related methods are also disclosed.
