ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a conveyor belt system for transporting materials by directly driving a conveyor belt. This is accomplished by directly driving a plurality of clips attached at their inner end to the belt and securedly coupled at their outer end to a pair of continuous cylindrical cables. Even though the belt is directly driven, the subject conveyor system can effect continuous relative movement between the conveyor belt and cables, thereby compensating for differences in the respective lengths of said belt and cables and in the configuration of the respective drives. This is accomplished in great part by the novel construction of clips of this invention which is designed for facilitating secured engagement with the cables and effective and efficient movement of the conveyor belt. This results in the continuous, uninterrupted transportation of the materials carried by the conveyor belt for extended periods of time.
