INCLINED CONVEYOR BELT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B65G43/06 

FIELD: transport, conveyors.

SUBSTANCE: proposed inclined conveyor belt has its flexible belt (1) with one end fastened in the bobbin in direction opposite to that of drum (3) during conveyor operation. Horizontal axis (9) of bobbin (6) is mounted on the conveyor frame to run therein, while the bobbin side walls are arranged to continuously interact with the conveyor belt idle run inner surface. The conveyor frame supports casing (12) with help of brackets (13) arranged on both side of the said casing and crosswise beams (14) so that to allow the casing to envelope the flexible belt outer layer on the bobbin and to stay with a gap relative to the bobbin side walls. Casing cylindrical surface, just above the conveyor idle run, features rectangular cut (15) oriented across the conveyor belt direction. Casing free edge (16), right in the cut area on the side of the head drum, is smoothly bent towards the said head drum and seats above opposite free edge (17) to allow unobstructed passage of the flexible belt free end (18) there between on braking the conveyor belt loop.

EFFECT: higher reliability of belt braking, reduced belt wear.
