Resilient clamps assemble modular sections of a serpentine conveyor belt at peripheral positions of mated interface walls and retain the walls in sealing, face-to-face contact while the belt moves through a laterally bending pathway. The clamps provide opposed latchkeys that register into boltways or recesses in the mated walls to lock the modular sections into fixed positions with respect to one another. |

A top surface and a bottom surface of an endless belt. The bottom surface having a longitudinal row of spaced apart pairs of pocket attached. Openings in each pocket of a pair opposed to each other, the pocket pairs mounted equidistant between the belt sides. A clip having a pair of spaced apart pliable feet mounted respectively in each pair of pockets. A link of a link chain is held in place by a pair of spaced apart downwardly directed arms integral with the clip. The link chain is engaged to a sprocket drive in a conveyor system to move the endless belt. |

A chain propelled belt conveyor having a centrally mounted single strand of roller chain. The roller chain drives the belt and supports the belt along the upper load carrying run of the belt. Pairs of conveyor trolleys support the central portion of the belt about the return non-load carrying run of the belt. A track having a horizontal rail extending between a pair of opposed C-shaped channel sections is used to guide the roller chain assembly. |

A bulk conveyor is described, including an elongated belt with means for supporting the belt along its working flight. The working flight support includes a number of cradle members connected in spaced relation along opposed roller chains. The chains are trained about sprockets between end rolls that mount the conveyor belt. The chains and the sprockets rotatably mounting them to the frame permit simultaneous motion of the cradle support members with the belt along the working flight. They also hold the cradle members in proper transverse orientation to the belt length. The cradles are supported along tracks that bear the weight of the cradles and of the load carried on the working flight. Motion of the cradles along the working flight is simultaneous with the belt so there is little frictional sliding engagement between the contacting surfaces of the belt and cradle. The belt leaves contact with the cradles along its return flight and rides over spaced support rolls below the returning cradles. Wheels on the cradles may be selectively adjusted to maintain proper wheel alignment along the frame-mounted tracks in relation to the planes of the roller chains. |

A belt conveyer and a conveying system using a belt conveyer. The system is designed to convey articles around curves and between vertically and horizontally spaced locations. The belt used in the system has a central substantially inextensible flexible spine and an upper load carrying portion supported by the spine. The load carrying portion has a plurality of ribs and a plurality of pleats interposed between the ribs. The ribs provide rigidity for the belt and limit movement of articles with respect to the belt, while the pleats provide longitudinal extension and contraction of side edges when the belt is following a curved path. The distance between top edges of the pleats and top edges of the ribs increases from outer edges of the belt towards the center so that top edges of the pleats are generally V shaped and conveyed articles and juices and liquids exuded from the conveyed articles tend to be conveyed in a central region of the belt. |

A conveyor assembly follows a pathway defined by a supporting framework, wherein the pathway may include serpentine portions. The framework supports a transport mechanism for movement along the pathway, and a belt assembly is carried by the transport mechanism. The belt assembly includes a continuous belt having flexible convolutions permitting the belt to follow serpentine portions of the pathway and also permitting the belt to locally laterally tilt for side discharge without requiring the transport mechanism to similarly tilt. A pivotal member between the transport mechanism and belt assembly permits the belt to tilt laterally, such as on a hinge point laterally offset from the center of the conveyor pathway. An actuator causes a selected portion of the belt to tilt on the hinge point. A suitable actuator includes a camming member located on the opposite lateral side of the supporting framework from the hinge point, and the belt assembly may include a tiltable arm extending over the camming member for interacting contact. The camming member may be longitudinally movable for varying the longitudinal position of discharge and also be vertically movable for varying the degree of tilt imparted to the arm and, in turn, to the belt assembly. The inverted return run is provided with a retaining rail to prevent the belt assembly from tilting under force of gravity. |

The load carrying upper reach of a belt conveyor particularly useful for transporting large pieces of rock and other heavy bulk material dispenses with the usual idle troughing rollers and is supported by an endless succession of spaced transverse flexible cross members or hammocks each of which has a trolley at each end riding on endless rails extending along each side of the belt and around the rollers at the head and discharge ends of the belt conveyor. Along the return strand of the conveyor belt the hammocks are above the belt but rest on it. The side-to-side distance between rails is less than the width of the conveyor belt so that the weighed belt cradles itself in the hammocks. However, at the head end of the conveyor there is a decending traveling belt ramp and at the discharge end an upwardly sloping belt ramp to flatten the hammocks and the belt for passage around the head and tail pulleys respectively. In these areas, the rails spread apart to take up the slack in the hammocks. An impact support is positioned under the belt and the hammocks at the place where the material to be transported is charged onto the belt to cushion the fall of heavy masses onto the belt. |
