Abstract: An endless conveyor belt comprises a flat belt with sidewalls. Each sidewall has slots spaced at regular intervals, and disposed at an acute angle relative to the facing surface of the sidewall, so that the belt can make a reverse bend with minimal obstruction. The sidewall may have overlapping sections in an alternate embodiment.
