ABSTRACT:
A twisted flat belt drive arrangement transfers rotation between nonparallel shafts. A toothed pulley or gear is affixed to each shaft, and a pair of smooth surfaced idler rollers are mounted to rotate independently on an idler shaft positioned between the two shafts. An endless, flat, toothed belt has end loops meshed with the gears and middle portions twisted to contact a smooth outer surface of the belt with the idler rollers. The twisted flat belt drive arrangement is applied to transferring rotation from a main conveyor line shaft to a line shaft of a branch conveyor intersecting the main conveyor. The arrangement is also applied to providing driving rotation to diverter rollers of a diverter mechanism through an intermediate transmission shaft parallel to the main line shaft. The drive arrangement may be implemented for both purposes on the same conveyor to power diverter rollers of a mechanism which diverts articles onto a branch conveyor which is also powered from the main conveyor line shaft.
