Abstract:
A conveyor apparatus comprising a base frame and an extendable frame, where the extendable frame is supported within the base frame and a drive assembly. The drive assembly comprises a rotatable drive mechanism which has a plurality of frame engaging portions which are arranged to engage with a plurality of drive engaging portions disposed upon a first one of the base or extendable frames such that when the drive mechanism rotates, the drive assembly is configured to displace the first one of the base or extendable frames with respect to the first between an extended state and a retracted state.

Claim (Index 20):
A conveyor apparatus comprising;\n a base frame and an extendable frame, wherein the extendable frame is supported by, and typically within, the base frame; a drive assembly; wherein the drive assembly comprises a rotatable drive mechanism having a plurality of frame engaging portions which are arranged to engage with a plurality of drive engaging portions provided on the extendable frame such that when the drive mechanism rotates, the drive assembly is configured to displace the extendable frame with respect to the base frame between an extended state and a retracted state; wherein the extendable frame comprises a plurality of parts, or modules, which are pivotably coupled together; and wherein the extendable frame is configured such that when the extendable frame adopts the extended state the one or more parts of the extendable frame are configurable to pivot relative to one or more other parts of the extendable frame such that the extendable frame assumes a substantially curved configuration.
