STORING INSTALLATION FOR CARRYING A NUMBER OF PILED HELICALLY EXTENDING TURNS OF AN ENDLESS CONVEYOR BELT

摘要

A storing installation for carrying a number of helically extending turns of an endless conveyor belt laid upon one another in a pile, where the various belt turns in the pile are supported by one another, comprises two endless chains which are arranged under the belt pile, support the two edge portions of the belt and are carried by supports, said chains being each adapted, after the ingoing or outgoing lower part of the conveyor belt, to follow the belt in its rise throughout a complete revolution, whereupon it travels in a direction opposite to the rise of the conveyor belt in a path beside said revolution so as to form the endless chain.
