ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt having a drive mechanism and specifically rod and side link connections in the belt. The belt includes a plurality of pivotal link members by which the belt can collapse or extend along a side edge to follow a curved path. One end of each of the link members along the edge of the belt that engages the drive mechanism is formed into a hook-shape. The belt also includes a plurality of transverse rod members. At least one end of each rod is headless and is captured within the hook-shaped end of a link member. This results in the hook-shaped end of the link member engaging the drive mechanism, with the rod end being secured to the link member within the hook-shaped end of the link.
