  • Patent number: 6006898
    Abstract: A conveyor belt is formed from a plurality of conveyor links having crest and valley link bodies and apertures. The links are interwoven together and operatively coupled together by hinge pins extending in a transverse direction to the longitudinal direction of travel. Each link as on at least one end, an integral drive arm in the same plane as the link body and adapted to engage a drive element. The drive arm has an angled surface and a straight surface.
