Abstract
The present invention refers to a belt for overhead conveyor systems, of the type provided with regularly spaced openings (F), characterised by the fact that it has a close series of brackets (1) fixed to the upper longitudinal edge of the belt, each bracket being composed by an opposite pair of identical curved jaws (2, 3) and designed to support an opposite pair of wheels (10) with horizontal axis in central position and a single wheel with vertical axis at each end; it being provided that the wheels (8) allow the belt to remain coupled and slide inside a boxed rail that is the bearing structure of the overhead conveyor system.

Belt for overhead conveyor systems, provided with regularly spaced openings, the belt comprising a close series of identical brackets (1) fixed to the upper longitudinal edge of the belt, each bracket being composed of an opposite pair of identical curved jaws (2, 3) and designed to support an opposite pair of wheels (10) with horizontal axis in central position and a single wheel (8) with vertical axis at each end.
Belt as defined in one or more of the preceding claims, characterised by the fact that it has a close series of opposite pairs of plates (11) fixed to the lower longitudinal edge, each of them having an internal convex face (11c) and a V-shaped upper edge (11b), as well as a hole (11a) that receives a rivet used to fix each pair of plates (11) to the belt (N) with a hole (12).
Belt as defined in one or more of the preceding claims, characterised by the fact that the upper longitudinal edge has a regularly spaced series of eyelets (14) having exactly the same shape as the eyelets (2c, 3c) of the jaws (2, 3), as well as a central coaxial hole (14a) identical to the holes (9) of the eyelets (2c, 3c).
Belt as defined in one or more of the preceding claims, characterised by the fact that it has a metallic structure.
Belt as defined in the preceding claim, characterised by the fact that it is made of rubber.
