Abstract
A gang conveyor drive mount for a frame base comprising in combination a pair of rails secureable to the frame base, and a motor gear box assembly attached to the rails. A drive shaft engages the gear box which is mechanically connected to the motor. At least one conveyor is slidably mounted along the drive shaft and rails and extends over the frame base such that the results of work fall on the conveyor in order to be carried away to a storage or use area. At least one bracket is slidably mounted along the pair of rails, and at least one bearing is fixed to the bracket and slidably mounted along the drive shaft. The conveyor and the combined bracket-bearing are adapted in operation of the invention to be slidably adjusted along the drive shaft and the rails in order that the gang conveyor drive mount can be mounted on any given frame base. A method for transporting the results of work comprises engaging the drive shaft to a motor gear box assembly, and securing the motor gear box assembly to the rails. The method also includes sliding along the drive shaft and the rails at least one conveyor until the same extends over a predetermined area of a given size frame base such that the results of work fall on the conveyor.
