ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt, which is adapted in endless condition to follow through part of its length a path comprising a number of superposed, helically extending turns, comprises link means which are articulated with one another and are relatively adjustable and comprise a bottom part and spacing members arranged at the longitudinal edges of said bottom part and constituting the two sides of the belt, said spacing members being adapted with their upper edge portions to bear against the lower edge portions of the overlying turn of the conveyor belt in order to permit this to carry the underlying belt turn, at least part of the spacing members being adapted with their upper edge portions to engage shoulders at the lower edge portions of the spacing members of the overlying turn of the conveyor belt so as to prevent lateral displacement of the belt turns. The spacing members are through part of their length fixedly connected to the longitudinal edges of the bottom part while the remaining part is movable relative to the bottom part and provided with a flange which is inclined downwards in inward direction, said flanges constituting the shoulders with which the upper edge portions of the spacing members are adapted to engage in order to prevent lateral displacement of the belt turns.
