CURVILINEAR CONVEYOR Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B65G13/02 B65G13/08 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: curvilinear conveyor 1, mounted on horizontal curvilinear section 8 of a path on a transportation path, is equipped with: row 14 of internal wheels without self-drive, located along horizontal curvilinear section 8 of the path so that it faces inward, where a center of an arc is located, relatively to arc-shaped central line 8a passing through a center of the width of the path of horizontal curved section 8 of the path; and row 13 of external driving wheels located along horizontal curved section 8 of the path so that it faces outward, on the side opposite to the one, where the center of the arc is located, relatively to arc-shaped central line 8a. The distance from arc-shaped central line 8a to the row of external driving wheels is less than the distance from arc-shaped central line 8a to row 14 of internal wheels without self-drive.

EFFECT: using a conveyor allows one to avoid undesirable effects, such as slippage, wear and unstable behavior of the transported object.
