Abstract:
A corner conveyor having a flat endless carrying belt is supported on a frame defining an arcuate conveying path. Either the upper or the lower course, or both, are driven by pinch rollers located at an intermediate point around the turn. The conveyor preferably has a hollow guide rail around the outer periphery of the turn, and the belt has spaced rollers adjacent its outer edge engaging the inside of the hollow rail above and below a slot receiving the belt. The drive mechanism engages the belt portion that extends radially outward from the guide rollers.
