ABSTRACT:
A method of winding a length of a conveyor belt onto a support structure which is delivered to the location where it is to be used, and then unwound. The length of conveyor belt is then spliced to other lengths of conveyor belt to form a continuous conveyor belt. The particular support structure has an elongate configuration so that when the belt is wound on the support structure, it extends along a winding path that has 180.degree. curves at opposite ends, these being joined by upper and lower straight path sections parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support structure. The use of this support structure, as well as the method of the present invention, provide greater efficiency and savings. Specifically, usually belt sections of greater lengths can be shipped, thus reducing costs of splicing the belt sections at the end location, as well as other advantages.
