ABSTRACT:
A modular conveyor belt composed of a plurality of modules. Each module comprises an integrally formed body having a planar conveying surface and pivotal coupling structure on a pair of opposite sides of the body. The pivotal coupling structure on one side of the body being complementary to that on the other side thereof whereby the module may be pivotally connected to like modules on the opposite sides thereof to form the conveyor belt. The pivotal coupling structure comprises a plurality of spaced apart pivot structures projecting from each side of the module and below the planar surface and each including a pair of spaced eyelets having openings coaxial with the openings of the other eyelets on the same side of the module for receiving a hinge pin therethrough and defining an axial direction, the hinge structures on each side of the module being spaced apart from each other in the axial direction and from the hinge structure on adjacent modules when the module is coupled to an adjacent module to define gaps therebetween. The gaps between the eyelets and the hinge structures expose substantial portions of the pin disposed in the openings for inspection and cleaning.
