发明名称 Conveyor belt with alignment features
摘要 A conveyor belt includes a first link having a first protrusion with a first mating surface that is curved. The first protrusion is disposed proximate a first rod receiving aperture of the first link. The belt also includes a second link having a second protrusion with a second mating surface that is curved. The second protrusion is disposed proximate a second rod receiving aperture of the second link. The first mating surface receives and abuts the second mating surface. The second link is restrained against movement in less than three orthogonal directions relative to the first link due to abutment of the first and second mating surfaces. The first and second rod receiving apertures are aligned when the first and second mating surfaces abut. Additionally, the belt includes a connecting rod extending through the first and second rod receiving apertures.

主权项 1. A conveyor belt comprising: a first link having a first protrusion extending a first distance from a first surface of the first link, wherein the first protrusion includes a first mating surface, wherein the first mating surface is curved, wherein the first protrusion is disposed proximate a first rod receiving aperture extending through the first link; a second link having a second protrusion extending a second distance from a second surface of the second link, wherein the second protrusion includes a second mating surface, wherein the second mating surface is curved, wherein the second protrusion is disposed proximate a second rod receiving aperture extending through the second link, wherein the first mating surface of the first protrusion receives and abuts the second mating surface of the second protrusion, the second link being restrained against movement in less than three orthogonal directions relative to the first link due to abutment of the first mating surface and the second mating surface, the first rod receiving aperture and the second rod receiving aperture being aligned when the first mating surface abuts the second mating surface; and a connecting rod extending through the first rod receiving aperture of the first link and the second rod receiving aperture of the second link.
