Abstract:
A belt drive that has a transmission element that transmits a drive force to a drive element, which then sets a belt roller into rotational motion. The transmission element is a shaft and the drive element is an angular gear which has an input that is connected to the transmission element and an output that transmits the rotational motion from the gear to the belt roller. The belt drive is particularly suited for use in a belt system that is used in multi-tier poultry facilities. This belt system according to the invention includes a common drive motor that provides the drive force and a plurality of belt drives, one belt drive for each tier. One or more drive shafts transmit the drive force from the drive motor to each of the belt drives.

Claim (Index 11):
A poultry belt system for use in a poultry facility having a plurality of tiers for holding poultry, the tiers arranged one above the other, the poultry belt system comprising:\n a drive motor and a main power shaft that extends from the motor to each tier of the plurality of tiers; a plurality of belts corresponding in number to the plurality of tiers; and a belt drive for each belt of the plurality of belts, the belt drive comprising a roller around which the belt travels; a drive shaft that transmits a rotational drive motion; and an angular gear having an input that connects to the drive shaft and an output that connects to the roller; wherein the angular gear receives the rotational drive motion from the drive shaft and outputs the rotational drive motion to the roller, thereby setting roller and the belt in motion; and wherein the drive motor drives the main power shaft, which is connected to each drive shaft on each tier, so as to drive each belt drive in the plurality of tiers.
