Abstract: Rigid connectors between adjacent portions of flexible belt elements are fastened thereto in such a manner that when the belt flexes as it moves over supporting drums bending stresses are avoided at the fastenings. The flexible belt may be of segmental or continuous form. The connectors may be in the form of carrier plates employed to carry pieces to be worked upon during the movements of the connectors, or the connectors may be of a form or carry means to push unattached objects. In either case, movements may be continuous or intermittent. In cases in which the connectors are massive or carry massive parts, means are provided to prevent inertial oscillations during changes from translatory to angular movements of the connectors.

Abstract: DRIVING AND DRIVEN SHAFTS ARE SUPPORTED IN BEARINGS WHICH ARE PERMANENTLY SPACED APART AT A DEFINITELY FIXED CENTER DISTANCE. ON THE DRIVEN SHAFT IS A FIRST SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF A FLANGE FOR A CIRCLE OF CAM-FOLLOWER ROLLERS. ON THE DRIVE SHAFT IS A SECOND SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF A FLANGE FOR A CAM MEANS WHICH DRIVE THE FOLLOWER ROLLERS AROUND SAID CIRCLE. EACH ROLLER IS BORNE UPON A STUD WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH A FLANGED BUSHING. EACH BUSHING CLOSELY BUT ROTATABLY AND REMOVABLY FITS INTO A HOLE IN SAID FIRST SUPPORT AND ITSELF HAS AN ECCENTRIC HOLE THERETHROUGH. EACH STUD IS LOCATED IN ONE OF THESE ECCENTRIC HOLES. EACH STUD ALSO HAS A STOP AT ONE END FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE FLANGE OF THE BUSHING, AND IS THREADED ON ITS END OPPOSITE TO RECEIVE A DRAW NUT REACTING AGAINST SAID FIRST SUPPORT FOR CLAMPING THE FLANGE OF THE BUSHING THERETO, THEREBY TO HOLD THE BUSHING IN ANY SELECTED ANGULAR POSITION ON THE SUPPORT. BY LOOSENING THE NUT THE BUSHING IS RELEASED FOR ROTARY ADJUSTMENT OF THE POSITION OF THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROLLER WHICH IT SUPPORTS, WHEREBY THE RADII OF THE CENTERS OF ANY OR ALL OF THE ROLLERS MAY BE CHANGED. EACH AND EVERY BUSHING, STUD OR ROLLER, IF DAMAGED, IS REPLACEABLE IN ITS SUPPORT, THE SUPPORT BEING PROTECTED AGAINST DAMAGE SO THAT ITS REPLACEMENT IS NOT NECESSARY IN SUCH AN EVENT.

Abstract: Rigid connectors between adjacent portions of flexible belt elements are fastened thereto in such a manner that when the belt flexes as it moves over supporting drums bending stresses are avoided at the fastenings. The flexible belt may be of segmental or continuous form, in the latter instance having a single connector at its two ends. The connectors may be in the form of carrier plates employed to carry pieces to be worked upon during movements of the connectors, or the connectors may be of a form of carry means to push unattached objects. In either case, movements may be continuous or intermittent. In cases in which the connectors are massive or carry massive parts, means are provided to prevent inertial oscillations during changes from translatory to angular movements of the connectors.

Abstract translation: 柔性带元件的相邻部分之间的刚性连接器以这样的方式被固定到其上，即当带子在支撑滚筒上移动时弯曲，在紧固件处避免弯曲应力。 柔性带可以是节段或连续形式，在后一种情况下，其两端具有单个连接器。 连接器可以是用于在连接器移动期间承载待加工件的承载板的形式，或者连接器可以是推动未附着物体的携带装置的形式。 在任一情况下，移动可以是连续的或间歇的。 在连接器是巨大的或携带大块部件的情况下，提供了用于防止在从连接器的平移到角度运动的变化期间的惯性振荡的装置。
