The disclosure relates to a lateral plate element (6, 6') for a link means (4, 4') included in a self-stacking endless conveyor belt (1), in which the conveyor belt (1) extends helically along part of its length. The lateral plate element, comprises an outer plate section (10), an inner plate section (20) and a bridging plate section (30) bridging said outer and inner plate sections (10, 20). Said outer plate section (10) comprises a top subsection (11) extending in a first plane and wherein said inner plate section (20) comprises a top subsection (21) extending in a second plane, said second plane being offset, in an inward direction (A), with regard to said first plane. Said outer plate section (10) further comprises a bottom subsection (12) arranged in a bottom part of said outer plate section (10) and extending in a third plane being offset in said inward direction (A) with regard to said first plane. Said inner plate section (20) further comprises a bottom subsection (22) arranged in a bottom part of said inner plate section (20) and extending in a fourth plane being offset in said inward direction (A) with regard to said second plane. The lateral plate element further comprises a reinforcement (13) extending between the top subsection (11) and the bottom subsection (12) of the outer plate section (10). The disclosure also relates to a link means (4, 4') comprising at least one transverse rod (5, 5') and two of said lateral elements (6, 6'). Further, the disclosure also relates to a self-stacking endless conveyor belt (1) comprising a plurality of said link means (4, 4') being interconnected. |
