ABSTRACT:
In a conveyor system for bulk materials used for loading and unloading large containers, and particularly ships, including a gantry, a boom pivotally mounted on the gantry, a vertically positioned leg extending from the boom and mounted to rotate relative to the boom and conveyor belt devices movably carried by the gantry, the boom and the leg for conveying the bulk materials, improvements are provided which are characterized by providing a simplified construction of the conveyor system allowing both loading and unloading operations and eliminating the necessity of plural conveyor belts by utilizing a single continuous conveyor belt, spaced guide mechanisms for the conveyor belt carried by the rotating leg and by the boom for allowing the conveyor belt to twist with rotation of the leg relative to the boom, and a motor for selectively driving the conveyor belt in forward and reverse directions for loading and unloading bulk material.
