Note that the Belt’s teeth are always facing the pulleys.

The pitch of the teeth of the toothed belt is optimized, to improve power transmission and stability.

An arcuate member (46) is provided having a surface complementary to the teeth on the belt (36) for engagement therewith.

Each of the belt teeth are discontinuous and have at least one gap sized to receive the at least one guide; thus, the at least one guide prevents inward radial migration of the belt during movement of the belt.

To improve the tooth formation of the belting (1), and the abrasion of the belting (1), the outer surface of the teeth (4) are formed with the disclosed bi-directional stretch woven fabric (7).

A profile (1) is mounted on the toothed belt (3) with the profile body (4) and the claw sections (6) holding the side edge sections (3a) and with the claw sections (6) engaging with belt teeth (5).

Teeth (6) engage with teeth (6a) on the outer surface of the subsidiary belt (15), and this engagement drives the subsidiary belt.

The belt (4) is provided with teeth (6) on its inner surface, and these engage with a roller (8) in driving the belt.

Each of the teeth extends across an entire width of the belt.

An outer surface of the belt having a profile, foe example teeth (15).

The intermediate drive belt (60) includes lateral rows of pivotable teeth (44) spaced apart along the length of the intermediate drive belt (60).

The teeth (9) are arranged further towards the inside, in the widthwise direction of the belt, than the edge sections (5) of the belt.

A conveyor comprises an endless thermoplastic belt (12) having a substantially flat surface on one side of the belt and a plurality of teeth (28) on the other side of the belt.

The only component external to the intermediate drive belt (60) that the teeth (44) contact is the intermediate drive belt (60).

The presence of teeth on the pulleys, coupled with the use of a timing belt eliminates the possibility of slippage between the belt and the pulleys.
