Abstract:
1. A conveyor comprising: a first belt which is configured to move in a closed loop; a support element which comprises first surface, wherein the first surface of the support element is configured to cooperate with a first surface of the first belt such that the first belt rests on the first surface to support the first belt during an outgoing part of the closed loop and the support element further comprises a second surface, and wherein the second surface of the support element is configured to cooperate with a second surface of the first belt such that the first belt rests on the second surface to support the first belt during a return part of the closed loop, so that the first belt is prevented from hanging; a second belt which is configured to move in a closed loop, and the support element comprises a third surface, wherein the third surface of the support element is configured to cooperate with a first surface of the second belt such that the second belt rests on the third surface to support the second belt during an outgoing part of the closed loop and the support element further comprises a fourth surface, wherein the fourth surface of the support element is configured to cooperate with a second surface of the second belt such that the second belt rests on the fourth surface to support the second belt during a return part of the closed loop, so that the second belt is prevented from hanging; wherein the support element comprises a member which has an inverted T-shaped cross-section, which defines the second and fourth surfaces of the support element.
