Abstract:
A belt conveyor having a pair of side frames between which a belt is moved for conveying items includes a pair of idler rollers about which the belt is disposed for conveying items there between, a tension roller that is biased into engagement with the belt, and a driven roller operative to drive the belt about the idler and tension rollers. The tension and driven rollers are mounted between the side frames and are disposed lower than the idler rollers, with the tension roller mounted by a tensioner mount configured to impart a biasing force to the tension roller against the belt.

Claim (Index 19):
A belt conveyor having a pair of side frames supporting a plurality of belt segments wherein said belt segments comprise:\n a belt for conveying items thereon with said belt being moved between said pair of side frames for conveying items; a pair of idler rollers mounted between said side frames and about which said belt is disposed for movement, with said belt defining a conveyor surface between said idler rollers; a tension roller mounted between said side frames, said tension roller being biased into engagement with said belt; and a driven roller mounted between said side frames, said driven roller comprising a motorized self-driven roller and being operative to drive said belt about said idler rollers and said tension roller; and a pair of tension assemblies, with each said tension assembly comprising a mounting plate mounted to respective ones of said side frames with said tension roller and said driven roller being mounted to and between said mounting plates, and wherein said tension assemblies each comprise a tensioner supporting respective ends of said tension roller and wherein said tensioners are adjustable to selectively adjust the position of said tension roller into engagement with said belt, and wherein the axis of said tension roller and the axis of said driven roller are disposed lower than a plane defined by the axes of said idler rollers in a normal orientation from the plane relative to said conveying surface, and wherein said driven roller com
