Conveyor

Abstract

Abstract A conveyor belt comprises a plurality of link means (1), which are successively connected in series and each of which has two transverse rods (2, 3), which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt and which at each lateral edge of the conveyor belt are fixedly interconnected by a link (4) which connects the link means with the adjoining link means on the one hand pivotally about axes substantially in parallel with the transverse rods and, on the other hand, displaceably in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt. A grating of a first type (8) is arranged between the two transverse rods (2, 3) of each link means (1), said grating having a connecting strut (10) which is extended between the transverse rods in the longitudinal direction thereof and which has cantilever branch struts (11, 12) which are arranged transversely of the connecting strut and which are each directed to the associated transverse rod and by means of which the grating is fixable to the link means. A grating of a second type (9) is arranged between each pair of two neighbouring gratings of the first type (8), said gratings of the second type having a plurality of slide struts (13) with two ends (14, 15), each of which extends between two adjoining branch struts (11, 12) of its associated neighbouring grating of the first type and is fixedly connected to a corresponding end (14, 15) of at least one adjoining slide strut under the intermediate branch strut (11, 12).
