<p>This invention relates to a belt conveyor comprising a conveying belt suspended in a plurality of suspension points in a stand, which belt includes energy-absorbing elements and a flexible belt portion located therebetween and has the object to bring about such a belt conveyor, which renders it possible to transport therewith goods not only in an open but also in a closed way. This object is achieved by the present invention substantially in that rollers are arranged in the conveyor stand to co-operate with the energy-absorbing elements and to carry the belt in an endless path, in which the belt is driven by driving rollers arranged in the stand, and the energy-absorbing elements are designed with the same section as a V-belt, while every roller co-operating with such a V-belt section of the belt extends with its axle substantially in parallel with that side of the V-belt section, to which the roller abuts with its running surface, and every driving roller for driving the belt includes at least one V-belt groove for driving engagement with one of the V-belt sections of the belt, which is held in this driving engagement by means of at least one pressing roller.</p> |
