<p>A row of modules (1a, 1b, 1c) are connected in a substantially straight line by a single linkage rod (12). On the inside of a bend modules of the first line (1a) slide with respect to each other over a limited range such that the overhanging portion (6) of a following module is able to move over a lower surface (5) of a preceding module. The modules in the line (1c) on the outside of the bend also slide relative to each other in the same manner although, because the modules in the line (1c) must travel over a greater distance to get around the bend than the modules of the line (1a), the modules in the line (1c) move further apart from each other within the limits allowed by the linkage rods (12) which slide in slots (20) of the modules such that the greater area of the lower surface (5) of each module in the line (1c) is exposed as compared to that area in the line (1a). All of the modules present a substantially flat upwardly facing support surface across the complete extent of the conveyor.</p> |
