    Conveyor's designer pays $1.4M to man whose arm was snared

    A conveyor system's designer agreed to pay $1.4 million to a man who sustained severe injuries of an arm that became caught in the system's moving belt.  The case was filed in New York. 
    Steven Raynor sued New Berlin, Wis.-based HK Systems Inc., alleging that the company negligently failed to shield a 5-inch-wide opening that allowed access to the underside of its conveyor system's belt. While reaching beneath the conveyor, Raynor's left arm entered that opening and became snared by the belt.
    Some 10 minutes elapsed before a co-worker arrived and freed Raynor's arm, which was broken in two places. The defense argued that Raynor's employer had removed a designer-installed shield that protected the opening, but it ultimately agreed to a pretrial settlement.
