A conveyor belt construction includes a flexible conveyor belt (218) defining inner and outer surfaces, and a series of clamp assemblies that are used to mount conveying members to the conveyor belt (218). One of the clamp members (232) defines a convex engaging area (242) that engages one of the surfaces of the conveyor belt, and the other of the clamp members (234) defines a concave engaging area (252) that engages the other surface of the conveyor belt (218). The clamp members (232, 234) are secured together and the belt (218) is sandwiched between the concave and convex areas (242, 252) of the clamp members (232, 234). The conveyor belt construction is engaged about a pair of rotatable members (212). The concave and convex areas (242, 252) of the clamp members (232, 234) take up a length of the conveyor belt (218), to tighten the conveyor belt (218) onto the rotatable members (212) without the use of a belt tensioner. The conveying members may be in the form of platens mounted to the outer clamp members. |
