ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt drive assembly embodying a supporting frame extending transversely of the belt. A pair of transverse drive axles mounted in the supporting frame are spaced from each other in the direction of belt travel. Drive wheels on the drive axles engage the under surfaces of the edges of the upper strand of the belt and the upper surfaces of the edges of the lower strand. A resiliently mounted rotatable support engages the under surfaces of the edges of the lower strand opposite the drive wheels with the lower strand pinched therebetween. A floating frame operatively connected to the supporting frame is movable relative thereto. Upper wheels carried by transverse axles on the floating frame engage the upper surfaces of the edges of the upper strand opposite the drive wheels with the upper strand pinched therebetween. Downward pressure is applied to the floating frame at a pivot point substantially equidistant from the upper wheels with the floating frame being adapted to swivel about the pivot point to selected positions relative to the upper strand.
