Abstract
The beads of a beaded conveyor belt for a curve conveyor are constituted by a number of bead constituting bodies (2b) that are disposed over the entire periphery of the outer surface along the outer peripheral edge of a belt main body (2a) and that are narrow in the direction of the length of the belt. Further, the beads of a beaded conveyor belt for a liner conveyor are constituted by a number of bead constituting bodies (7b) that are disposed over the entire periphery of the outer surface along opposite side edge of a belt main body (7a) and that are narrow in the direction of the length of the belt. The conveyor belt is installed taut between straight type end rollers (15), and the width of the bead constituting bodies (2b, 7b) lengthwise of the belt is set at about 20–60% of the diameter of the straight type end rollers (15). Even when the conveyor belt is installed taut between small-diameter end rollers, long-term use is possible.
