ABSTRACT:
In a multi-section conveyor, a conveyor section provides a belt tension adjusting mechanism employing extension arms on an expanding tensioner. The extension arms carry the end belt roller and apply increased tension to the belt as the arms extend. The opposed end rollers of adjacent sections are joined to coaxial end gears, and an intermediate idler gear interconnects the end gears when the sections are joined. When sections are assembled, the extension arms mate into the neighboring section and are contoured to permit angular variation in the mating. A latching mechanism on one section locks the end roller of the next section in engagement slots and boxes the gears for safety.
