ABSTRACT:
A vertical conveyor comprises a driving drum; a tensioning drum spaced vertically from the driving drum and supported shiftably for varying its distance from the driving drum; a vertically oriented endless carrier trained about the driving drum and the tensioning drum; a tensioning weight situated spaced from and in vertical alignment with the tensioning drum; and coupling elements situated between and in vertical alignment with the tensioning weight and the tensioning drum. The coupling elements are secured to the tensioning weight and to the tensioning drum for directly transmitting forces from the tensioning weight to the tensioning drum urging the tensioning drum vertically away from the driving drum, whereby the endless carrier is tensioned. The conveyor further has a support frame situated between the tensioning weight and the tensioning drum and supports the coupling elements; a support shaft horizontally spaced from the coupling elements; and levers mounted on the support shaft and connected to the coupling elements for operatively connecting the support shaft with the coupling elements.
