ABSTRACT:
A flexible drive shaft for a turn portion of a transfer device, such as a conveyor. The flexible drive shaft can be made from wound steel, wound plastic, wound cable or other wound material. In one embodiment, multiple rollers are rotatably mounted to a support structure of the conveyor and traverse the turn portion of a conveyor. The flexible drive shaft can be mounted to the support structure, and can follow the turn portion. A connector can join the rollers and flexible drive shaft, so that force can be transferred from the flexible drive shaft to the rollers, causing them to rotate.
