Abstract:
1. A curved belt conveyor ( 2 ), comprising at least one continuous belt ( 4 ) running along a curve and having an inner circumferential surface supported on and guided via two return rollers ( 8 ) and an outer circumferential surface facing outward from the return rollers ( 8 ), the continuous belt ( 4 ) further having a curve outer side edge and a curve inner side edge at opposite side edges of the continuous belt along the curve, a bulging thickening ( 24 ) running continuously along the continuous belt ( 4 ) at locations in proximity to the curve outer side edge of the continuous belt ( 4 ), support means for supporting the continuous belt ( 4 ), the support means being arranged only at locations opposed to the inner circumferential surface of the continuous belt ( 4 ), and end faces ( 26 ) of the support means closest to the curve outer side edge of the continuous belt ( 4 ) contacting the bulging thickening ( 24 ) in an interacting manner for preventing the belt from slipping off the support means.
