ABSTRACT:
A cable drive conveyor system in which a cable drive carried by idler sheaves communicates with conveyor carrier rollers. An endless cable is driven and is carried by the idler sheaves. At least one cable connector connects the two ends of the endless cable. A start pad covers the cable connector and has predetermined characteristics distinct with respect to the endless cable. A vertical urger which urges the idler sheaves towards the support rollers is mounted on adjustable pressure angle supports to cause the endless cable to generally maintain a constant pressure against the carrier rollers excepting when the start pad which covers the cable connector is carried by the idler sheaves.
