CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

Apparatus including a conveying member defining a loop (98). The conveying member can be a belt, a chain, or plurality of hinged plates. The invention also includes first and second supporting members (92, 94) individually disposed at opposite sides of the loop and spaced a first distance apart from one another. The first and second supporting members support rotating movement of the conveying member. A moving device (102) is operable to translate the first and second supporting members concurrently along a path having at least one bend (106). The lengths of the portions of the conveying member disposed on opposite sides of the bend can be adjusted by the moving device. A bendable frame assembly (108), connected to the moving device, extends between and is attached to the first and second supporting members.
