ABSTRACT

A conveyor belt primary cleaning blade and device that permits a pair of
cleaning blades to be releasably secured to a mounting tube without the need
for a separate cartridge. The blade includes an aluminum extrusion that is
embedded in the bottom portion of the urethane blade when the blade is formed.
The aluminum extrusion is formed of a pair of opposing sidewalls connected at
their upper ends by a top wall, so that the lower end of the element is open.
Indents are formed in the opposing sidewalls at both ends of the extrusion and
are used to engage a groove track in a keeper element secured to a mounting
tube. The extrusion is slid over the keeper causing the indents to releasably
lock into the grooves.
