Abstract
The conveyor comprises a carriage (2) movable on four support wheels along the guides (3) of a support structure (4) guided by a further two directional wheels engaged in a track or channel between the guides; the carriage has a transmission shoe (45, 46) adapated to couple by friction with a belt (24) movable parallel to the guides; the guides may be arranged on the ground, resting on the floor, or may be suspended, supported by suitable frames, and are constructed as modular components (8) which can be interconnected in various ways to form straight horizontal courses with upward or downward slopes and curved paths; the belt (24) is tensioned between two pulleys (25, 26) located at the ends of each module (8), of which one is a drive pulley, being connected to its own electric motor mounted on the module itself; the carriage carries attachment members for transporting a pallet or for supporting a load; the belt (24) may be toothed as may also the transmission shoe (45, 46) to achieve a secure grip on the belt; particularly for long and heavy loads, the carriage is elongate and has two shoes at its ends.
