CONVEOR BELT AND SYSTEM HAVING LOW FRICTION CONTACT SURFACES

摘要

A conveyor belt and system as shown in which an endless belt is secured between two rollers. The belt comprises a web member having an upper frictional surface to which a web liner is secured therebeneath, the web liner being selected from a material having a low coefficient of friction. A planar base member is provided beneath the web and web liner, and a base liner selected from a material having a low coefficient of friction is positioned atop the planar base. The base liner comprises a plurality of laterally spaced longitudinally extending strips positioned to provide a support surface for the web liner. A pair of end rollers are spaced at each end of the conveyor in proximate relationship to the base. The resultant conveyor belt and system provides for a smooth passage of parts for objects atop the frictional surface of the web in the absence of moving parts and required lubrication. One embodiment is shown where the conveyor belt and system is employed in a jogger.
