CONVEYOR BELT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyor belt allowing traveling of a small radius curvature. SOLUTION: This conveyor belt is provided with an endless belt body 1, deflection resistant members 6 embedded in the bolt body 1 in such a manner as extending in the belt width direction and aligning in the belt circumferential direction in prescribed intervals apart, expandable left/right side wall members provided around the whole circumference near both edges of the outer circumferential surface of the belt body 1, an endless chain extending so as to circulate along the internal circumferential surface of the belt body 1 and being bendable in the belt width direction, a plurality of driven racks 19 installed on the deflection resistant members 6 opposingly to the chain, and multiple driving racks 20 installed in an outside plate 11 comprising the chain at intervals matching to the driven racks 19 and threaded with the driven racks 19. A plurality of grooves 7 extending in the belt width direction are formed in the internal circumferential surface of the belt body 1, partition members 3 continuing to the outer circumferential surface of the belt body 1 and the left/right side wall members 2 are provided in the belt circumferential direction at an approximately equal intervals.
