Zusammenfassung:Screen deck assembly (10) has a locking system for retaining a plurality of modular screen panels (20) in such a manner that they can be individually replaced, if desired. The system includes sets of abutting retainer bars (18 ) which each have half of a generally cylindrical opening (28) which is adapte d to receive generally cylindrical sleeve members (30). The sleeve members extend through the retainer bars and also through openings (14) in underlyin g support frame members (12). Locking pins (32) inserted into the sleeve membe rs expand the sleeves to lock the retainer bars relative to the support member. Separation of the retainer bars is prevented by downwardly extending continuous annular ring portions (72) on the sleeve members which are seated in complementary semi-circular grooves (61) formed in each of the abutting retainer bars. The sleeve members can be made in a range of sizes with varyi ng outer diameters at their lower ends to accommodate wear or varying dimension s of the openings in the support frame members.
