Belt including a flexible rare earth magnetic strip and conveyor utilizing a belt including a flexible rare earth magnetic strip

A belt for transporting a load, comprising:

• a) a first ply, including a first width;
• b) a second ply, including a second width;
• and
• c) a flexible stratum, comprising:
• a permanent magnetic composition, wherein said flexible stratum:
• i) runs an extent of said belt;
• ii) is seated between the diametric peripheries of said first ply and said second ply;
• iii) can be induced to flux magnetically with a stator to push said belt;
• and
• iv) is of a width lesser than either said first ply's first width or said second ply's second width;
• and
• d) a first stretch limiting member joined to a first side of said flexible stratum and said first ply and said second ply.
