Abstract

Cover panel for a drawbar-controlled ground conveyor on the side facing the drawbar, which has a mainly U-shaped skirt formed from a blank section in the lower area, with a bar section facing the drawbar and lateral leg sections, which covers a drive unit of the ground conveyor on the side and in the back and can be welded to a frame of the ground conveyor, wherein the upper edge of the skirt runs within the surface area of the skirt, an approximately middle upper section of the bar section is embossed with respect to the neighboring outer surfaces of the bar section, and the embossed section projects upwards into a centering section.

Claims (12)

1. Cover panel for a drawbar-controlled ground conveyor on the side facing the drawbar, which has a mainly U-shaped skirt formed from a blank section in the lower area, with a bar section facing the drawbar and lateral leg sections, which covers a drive unit of the ground conveyor on the side and in the back and can be welded to a frame of the ground conveyor, characterized in that an upper edge ( 18 ) of a skirt ( 10 ) runs within the surface area of the skirt ( 10 ), an approximately middle upper section ( 22 ) of a bar section ( 12 ) is embossed with respect to a neighboring outer surfaces of the bar section ( 12 ), and the embossed section ( 22 ) projects upwards into a centering section ( 36 ), wherein the lateral leg sections are raised on the free end by a ledge ( 40 , 42 ) pointing upwards.

2. Cover panel according to claim 1 , characterized in that between the embossed section ( 22 ) and the neighboring outer surfaces of the bar section ( 12 ) the height of the formed ledges ( 24 , 26 ) gradually decreases starting from their upper edge ( 18 ) to the bottom and passes into the outer surface.

3. Cover panel according to claim 2 , characterized in that the ledges ( 24 , 26 ) extend downwards over one-fourth to one-third of the height of the bar section ( 12 ).

4. Cover panel according to claim 1 , characterized in that the skirt ( 10 ) in the lower area on both sides of a middle section ( 28 ) of the lower area, with a hole ( 30 ) has embossed sections ( 32 , 34 ), which run approximately parallel to a bottom edge ( 20 ) of the skirt ( 10 ) into leg sections ( 14 , 16 ).

5. Cover panel according to claim 4 , characterized in that the outside of the lower embossed sections ( 32 , 34 ) runs approximately parallel to the outside of the upper sections of the skirt ( 10 ).

6. Cover panel according to claim 4 , characterized in that the depth of the lower embossed sections ( 32 , 34 ) in the bar section decreases continuously from top to bottom.

7. Cover panel according to claim 1 , characterized in that the top view of the centering section ( 36 ) is approximately trapezoidal with a width that becomes smaller towards the upper end.

8. Cover panel according to claim 1 , characterized in that the corners or edges of the centering section ( 36 ) and/or between the bar and leg sections ( 12 , 14 , 16 ) and/or the embossed and/or lowered sections have a rounded transition.

9. Cover panel for a drawbar-controlled ground conveyor on the side facing the drawbar, comprising:

a mainly U-shaped skirt, the skirt having an upper edge and a lower edge, the skirt also having a bar section and a lower area, the skirt further comprising lateral leg sections,

the bar section facing the drawbar and the lateral leg sections covering a drive unit of the ground conveyor on the side and in the back and can be welded to a frame of the ground conveyor, wherein the upper edge of the skirt runs within the surface area of the skirt,

the bar section further comprising an approximately middle upper section and a pair of neighboring outer surfaces, the middle upper section being embossed with respect to the neighboring outer surfaces of the bar section, and the embossed middle upper section projects upwards into a centering section, wherein the lateral leg sections are raised on the free end by a ledge pointing upwards.
