42 Positive-drive spiral conveyor US14386036 2013-03-12 US09394109B2 2016-07-19 Casper Fedde Talsma; David W. Bogle; Achraf Elhassouni; David A. Wickham
A spiral conveyor for positively driving a hinged, modular conveyor belt along a helical path. The spiral conveyor includes a rotating cylindrical tower with parallel drive members extending from the bottom to the top of the tower on its periphery. Each drive member includes an outwardly protruding ridge extending from the bottom to the top of the tower for engaging the inside edges of the belt. In one version, the ridges at the entrance end of the spiral are movable to provide a gradually decreasing spacing between consecutive ridges as the belt enters the spiral. In another version, alignment elements at the entrance end align belt-edge structure with the tip ends of associated ridges to help engagement. In another version, the ridges at a discharge end of the tower are retractable between an extended position driving the belt and a retracted position.

44 Conveyor system with multiple level convergence apparatus US13688763 2012-11-29 US08851272B1 2014-10-07 Tony Hill
A conveyor system and method is described for conveying articles between different levels of a structure. The conveyor system utilizes stacked helical shaped conveyors to move articles up from a first level and down from a third level to a common second level. The conveyor system may also move articles down from the second level to the first level or up from the second level to the third level. The stacked helical conveyors eliminate the need for gated lifts or ramps and also minimize the footprint required to convey articles between levels.
45 Self-aligning pallets and a system for automated conveying of components through an assembly line US13434224 2012-03-29 US08727100B2 2014-05-20 Robert Donald Ecob; Bounna Wang

60 Deformed conveying belt US10312773 2003-06-12 US20040079622A1 2004-04-29 Takaya Yamazaki
A deformed conveying belt (20) comprises a resin moulding (22) fixed on a conveying belt (21). Said resin moulding (22) comprises a body (22a) being welded, etc. onto the conveying belt (21) and a contacting part (22b) being made of a resin of which hardness is greater than that of the body (22a) and being combined with the surface of the body (22a) to contact an article. When the resin moulding (22) of this deformed conveying belt (20) is subjected to bending forces, as the body (22a) is formed of a resin of low hardness and has high flexibility, the resin moulding (22) will be prevented from being damaged by deformation. When the resin moulding (22b) is formed of a resin of which hardness is higher than that of the body (22a) and has high wear resistance, the resin moulding (22) will be prevented from being damaged by wear.
