Abstract
In accordance with one aspect, a cleaner for a conveyor belt is provided having a scraper blade for engaging a conveyor belt traveling in a downstream direction and a rigid fulcrum member extending laterally transverse to the downstream direction. The cleaner includes a blade mount member having an upper arm portion connected to the scraper blade, an intermediate portion spaced upstream from the rigid fulcrum member, and a lower arm portion extending from the intermediate portion, under the rigid fulcrum member, and downstream beyond the fulcrum member. The cleaner has a resilient support for the blade mount member configured to allow the blade mount member to resiliently rock about the rigid fulcrum member as the scraper blade is impacted during conveyor belt operations.
