Abstract: An apparatus for transporting products on a respective path, particularly including at least one curved length or a corresponding spiral route, including respective support means of a conveyor belt, particularly including a plurality of mutually articulated meshes, in which preferably the respective mesh has a respective small transversally extending plate defining a resting surface for said product, and, on the perpendicular side opposite the same resting surface of the product, a portion for supporting said small plate and articulating the mesh to the adjacent meshes of the conveyor belt, which mesh supporting and articulating portion is slidable on a corresponding elongated block for supporting and guiding said means for supporting the apparatus. The conveyor belt, particularly the respective mesh thereof, includes volving friction sliding means that are adapted to engage said supporting and guiding elongated block at a corresponding perpendicular face thereof which faces the outer side of the bend.

Abstract: A conveyor of the articulated chain type for transporting products, includes a mounting frame for elements for supporting and guiding a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes a plurality of links forming elements for supporting the product and articulated connected to each other, each link having a first and a second plurality of longitudinal protrusions which extend in opposite longitudinal directions and which are transversally spaced from each other so as to form respective spaces for receiving the longitudinal protrusions of an adjacent link. The link includes a perpendicular protuberance forming elements for engaging and sliding against a transversal centering surface of guide elements in a curved stretch of the belt and a transversal protuberance extending laterally of the link and forming elements for engagement and sliding relative to a perpendicular longitudinal retaining surface of the guide elements, retaining elements for keeping a connecting pin inserted between adjacent links.

Abstract: A conveyor belt (12) with articulated links, for conveying products in a respective plant or industrial machine, includes respective links (14), each having a corresponding portion (141) for articulated connection to the adjacent links and which supports a portion, extending transversely, (142) for sustaining the product to be conveyed, which in turn includes a lowered part (1421) and a raised part (1422), designed to be positioned, in the curved stretches in the plane of the belt, above the corresponding lowered part of the link. Advantageously, the respective longitudinal end (1422?) of the raised part is designed to be positioned, in a curved connecting stretch (123) of the belt extending in a plane perpendicular to the conveying surface of the belt, radially at, or radially on the extension of the longitudinal end (1421?) of the lowered part of the adjacent link, in particular next along the feed direction of the belt.

Abstract: A link, usable in a conveyor belt of the type with articulated links, includes a main link supporting member, in particular of plastic material, more specifically a rigid or substantially rigid material such as acetalic resin or polyamide, and a secondary or product engagement member, in particular of elastically compliant material, preferably an elastic or elastomeric material, and in particular defining a product supporting member defining a corresponding surface for supporting the product to be conveyed. Fastening elements are provided by which the secondary or product engagement member is fastened to the main link supporting member, and which include, on the secondary member, corresponding protruding elements adapted to be inserted into a respective socket formed in the main link supporting member, the socket defining corresponding perpendicular retaining undercut elements for holding the secondary or product engagement member to the selfsame main link supporting member.
