Abstract
A track frame assembly to guide the conveyor chain or the like in a conveyor system is provided which includes at least a pair of frame members (A1), coupling block (10) and track rails (D). The frame member (A1) includes a base plate portion (1) and a pair of bent plate portions (2 and 4). The bent plate portions (2 and 4) have a plurality of cuts (5) formed therein nearly perpendicularly to the length thereof at predetermined intervals. When the base plate portion (1) is curbed in the direction of its thickness, the cuts (5) are deformed and the bent plate portions (2 and 4) are bent in the direction of their width, so that the frame members can be deformed easily and positively to a desired curved shape. Therefore, the track frame assembly is highly lightweight and rigid, simply configured, easy to produce and suitable for mass production, easy to handle and assemble. Thus the track frame assembly is optimally usable as a curved track portion in the conveyor system.
