Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a screening arrangement including a screen deck constituted by a non-stretchable, flexible screen cloth material defining a feed end and a discharge end. The feed end and discharge end are secured to mounting formations associated with a frame and the association is such that in use the screen deck may be reciprocated between a taut state and a slack state. The screen deck is located at an angle to the horizontal sloping downwardly from the feed end to the discharge end. The arrangement of the present invention has a high resistance against blinding of the screen deck.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A screening arrangement defining a feed end and a discharge end, comprising: two frame-like movable masses being vertically spaced-apart and interconnected by linkage members, said two masses being movable in substantially opposite directions relative to each other, an exciter connected to said arrangement to impart substantially reciprocable movement to said masses to move said masses in substantially opposite directions relative to each other, a screen made of substantially non-stretchable, flexible material connected at one end thereof to one of said two masses and connected at its opposite end thereof to the other one of said two masses, said screen being movable by said two masses between a first position wherein said screen is taut and a second postion wherein said screen is slack, said two masses being arranged to slant said screen downwardly from said feed end to said discharge end, said screen being secured at its end facing said feed end to the bottom one of said two masses and at its end facing said discharge end to the top one of said two masses.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
A screening arrangement defining a feed end and a discharge end, comprising: two frame-like movable masses being vertically spaced-apart and interconnected by linkage members, said two masses being movable in substantially opposite directions relative to each other, an exciter connected to said arrangement to impart substantially reciprocable movement to said masses to move said masses in substantially opposite directions relative to each other, a screen made of substantially non-stretchable, flexible material connected at one end thereof to one of said two masses and connected at its opposite end thereof to the other one of said two masses, said screen being movable by said two masses between a first position wherein said screen is taut and a second postion wherein said screen is slack, said two masses being arranged to slant said screen downwardly from said feed end to said discharge end, said screen being secured at its end facing said feed end to the bottom one of said two masses and at its end facing said discharge end to the top one of said two masses.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The screening arrangement of claim 1 including a plurality of said screens arranged in end overlapping relationship.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
The screening arrangement of claim 2 wherein each said screen is secured to rails which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of said masses, at least one of said rails of each said screen being adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the frame and securable in place.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The screening arrangement of claim 1 wherein said screen is made of a woven polyurethane material.
