Abstract
An metallic band apparatus, particularly for the conveyance of heavy loads. At each lateral edge of the band (1) is disposed a conveyor chain (2), each of the metallic plates (1') being connected to at least one of the links (2') of each conveyor chain (2). Sprockets (13) driving the roller chain or chains (4) are disposed, at each end of the apparatus, between the sprockets (11) driving the conveyor chains (2) and on the same shaft (8) as these latter, the drive connection between the two types of sprockets (11, 13) being such that the linear speed of the endless metallic band (1) is equal to twice the linear speed of the roller chains (4).
Claims11
Articulated metallic band apparatus comprising an endless band encircling at least one roller chain comprising rollers and circulating about a frame, said band being comprised by articulated metallic plates, a conveyor chain (12) secured to each lateral edge of the band (1), each of the metallic plates (1') being connected to at least one of the links (2') of each conveyor chain (2), sprockets (13) driving the roller chain or chains (4) disposed, at each end of the apparatus, between sprockets (11) driving the conveyor chains (2) a drive shaft (8) on which the two types of sprockets (11, 13) are mounted and by which the two types of sprockets (11, 13) are driven in rotation, the two types of sprockets (11, 13) being such that the linear speed of the endless metallic band (1) is equal to twice the linear speed of the roller chains (4).
