Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides an endless conveyor belt for conveying articles within a high temperature environment, such as a sputtering apparatus. A sputtering apparatus employs endless conveyor belts mounted on power operated pulleys to convey articles within the high temperature environment of such an apparatus. The conveyor belt comprises an elongated, spring-like member having two opposed ends. The spring-like member is prevented from stretching by either a tubular wire braid within which the spring-like member is received in a close fitted engagement or, one of more cables located within the spring-like member. In case of the tubular wire braid covered spring-like member, the ends are joined by wire end loops connected to the opposed ends of the spring-like member which are in turn connected by a link. In case of the spring-like member containing one or more cables, the opposed ends of the spring-like member are connected by a threaded coupling member having a plurality of threads, threadably engaging the coils of the spring. |
