ABSTRACT:
A longitudinally elongate conveyor belt is adapted for conveying a plurality of transversely spaced items. The belt comprises a plurality of interconnected, generally transversely extending rod members which are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. Each rod member is upwardly arched to define first and second item-supporting segments. The first and second segments diverge in the downward direction so as to resist a tendency for the first and second items to be displaced by belt sag. An outer edge of the belt may be elevated relative to the inner edge to compensate for centrifugal forces.
