  • Cleated belt adaptable to curvilinear shapes
    Patent number: 6170646
    Abstract: A conveyor belt that uses cleats to more effectively transfer materials through a curvilinear structure into a deposit receptacle. The cleats are either in the form of a notched cleat or slit cleat. In both forms, the cleat is adaptable to conforming from a flat conveyor belt to a curved conveyor belt within the curvilinear structure. The resulting cleat on the conveyor belt provides increased support for the prevention of backflow of materials during transportation of the materials through the curvilinear structure.
