ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt supportable on troughing rollers for conveying bulk material. The belt is capable of sharp lateral curves and includes a main body section with an embedded, central, inextensible, flexible spine formed of cables. Corrugations extend outwardly to the edges from the central section of the body. The central section of the body is rectangular in cross section and constitutes the majority of the belt. The belt is molded flat and has layers of cords or strands, of inextensible material such as wire, embedded therein from edge to edge. The layers are parallel to each other and to the surfaces of the belt adjacent the edges and adjacent the central portion of the body. Along the lines where the corrugations meet the central portion, the layers are positioned closer to each other to thereby define hinges for bending of the belt longitudinally to thereby permit troughing of the belt during the conveying of bulk material.
