  • Construction conveyor belt
    Patent number: 5511652
    Abstract: An improved conveyor belt construction includes lateral edges which fold upwardly and inwardly upon the application of longitudinal directed tension. The tendency of the lateral edges of the belt to curve upwardly and inwardly, coupled with the presence of locked plates, enable the belt to form a series of completely enclosed box-like structures which can move powdery ash-like materials with ease. The construction includes five layers, two of which are reinforced with reinforcing cords laid at differing angles.
