ABSTRACT:
An improved endless flexible conveying element is set forth. The flexible conveying element is of the type adapted to be mounted on a carrier and to conform with a generally curvilinear endless path for orbital traverse of such endless path. The conveying element has an elongated resiliently deformable portion which includes a longitudinally extending portion located laterally intermediate the longitudinal extending side portions thereof. The resiliently deformable portion of said conveying element laterally flexes to permit the belt to follow laterally curvilinear portions of the endless path in an upright position. The resiliently deformable portion has a tendency to spontaneously assume a natural form thereof, which is configured such that the resiliently deformable portion, when mounted on the carrier, is deformed from its natural form in a manner to provide in the side portions a condition of relative longitudinal tension with respect to the central portion. This tension is substantially continuously maintained throughout such lateral flexing of the resiliently deformable portion of the conveying element.
