Conveyor belt return training device

A training device for guiding a continuous belt having opposite sides and edges defining a belt width in between and moving in a direction of travel, the device comprising:

• a frame having opposite sidewalls each positioned adjacent to an opposite edge of the belt;
• a first pair of elongate low friction devices fixedly attached between the widewalls, the pair of low friction devices positioned one above the other and further positioned to engage opposite sides of the belt with each device having a respective longitudinal axis positioned generally perpendicular to the direction of travel and in a generally horizontal direction and each device having a belt engaging surface which extends continuously and completely across the width of the belt;
• a second pair of elongate low friction devices spaced apart downstream from the first pair of low friction devices in the direction of travel and fixedly attached between the sidewalls;
• the second pair of low friction devices positioned one above the other and further positioned to engage opposite sides of the belt with each device having a respective longitudinal axis positioned generally perpendicular to the direction of travel and in a generally horizontal direction and each device having a belt engaging surface which extends continuously and completely across the width of the belt;
• a pair of low friction guide devices positioned intermediate the first and second pair of low friction devices and connected to the frame so as to engage opposite edges of the belt;
• the pair of low friction guide devices each having a longitudinal axis extending generally perpendicular to the direction of travel and in a generally vertical direction.
