Protective element
View Patent ↗A protective element for a cross member or shaft housing of a frame in a screening arrangement. The protective element is attachable to the cross member or shaft housing by wrapping the protective element around the cross member or shaft housing and clamping a first portion of the protective element to a second portion of the protective element by at least one clamping device. The protective element has an outwards facing surface, which is wear-resistant to withstand wear from piece goods or particle goods impinging or sliding on the outwards facing surface.
1. A protective element for a cross member or shaft housing of a frame in a screening arrangement, comprising:
a body portion that is attachable to said cross member or shaft housing by wrapping said body portion around said cross member or shaft housing and clamping a first portion of said body portion to a second portion of said body portion by a first clamping device,
wherein said body portion has an outwards facing surface, which is wear-resistant to withstand wear from piece goods or particle goods impinging or sliding on said surface;
and wherein said body portion includes a second clamping device for clamping said body portion to at least one other protective element.
2. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said body portion exhibits a tight fit around said cross member or shaft housing.
3. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said protective element comprises elastomeric material.
4. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said protective element includes at least one material from the group consisting of:
elastomeric materials, ceramic materials, mineral materials and metal materials.
5. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said protective element includes at least two elastomeric materials with different hardness.
6. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said protective element comprises polyurethane.
7. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said protective element comprises rubber.
8. The protective element according to claim 5 , wherein said protective element further comprises reinforcement material.
9. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said outward facing surface of said body portion is provided with at least one wear resistant body.
10. The protective according to claim 9 , wherein said at least one wear resistant body includes at least one material chosen from the group consisting of:
elastomeric materials, ceramic materials, mineral materials and metal materials.
11. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said first clamping device includes at least one projection.
12. The protective element according to claim 11 , wherein said at least one projection has a semicircular shape and an undercut so that it has a cross sectional radius that increases with increased distance when moving outwards normal to said outward facing surface.
13. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said first clamping device includes at least one hole.
14. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said first clamping device includes at least one projection and at least one hole.
15. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said first clamping device includes at least one additional clamping device.
16. The protective element according to claim 15 , wherein said at least one additional clamping device includes at least one clamp ring.
17. The protective element according to claim 16 , wherein said at least one clamp ring is an elastic O-ring.
18. The protective element according to claim 15 , wherein said at least one additional clamping device includes at least one pin or bolt.
19. The protective element according to claim 1 , wherein said outward facing surface of said body portion is provided with at least one ridge.
20. A protection for a cross member or shaft housing of a frame in a screening arrangement, wherein said protection is attachable to said cross member or shaft housing by wrapping said protection around said cross member or shaft housing and clamping a first portion of said protection to a second portion of said protection by at least one clamping device, and wherein said protection has an outwards facing surface, which is wear-resistant to withstand wear from piece goods or particle goods impinging or sliding on said surface, wherein said protection consists of a plurality of protective elements comprising:
a body portion that is attachable to said cross member or shaft housing by wrapping said body portion around said cross member or shaft housing and clamping a first portion of said body portion to a second portion of said protective element by a first clamping device,
wherein said body portion has an outwards facing surface, which is wear-resistant to withstand wear from piece goods or particle goods impinging or sliding on said surface;
and wherein said body portion includes a second clamping device for clamping said body portion to at least one other protective element.
21. A screening arrangement including at least one protective element comprising:
a body portion that is attachable to said cross member or shaft housing by wrapping said body portion around said cross member or shaft housing and clamping a first portion of said body portion to a second portion of said protective element by a first clamping device,
wherein said body portion has an outwards facing surface, which is wear-resistant to withstand wear from piece goods or particle goods impinging or sliding on said surface;
and wherein said body portion includes a second clamping device for clamping said body portion to at least one other protective element.
