Zusammenfassung:There is provided an improved belt-storage system and apparatus useful therewith, characterized by a belt direction changing and translating apparatus effective to change the direction of movement of the belt, e.g. reverse it entirely, and to translate the belt laterally, e.g. so that portions can be disposed alongside each other. One portion is then available for conveying action, and the other for belt storage. The lengths of each may be adjusted upwardly and downwardly, respectively, or vice versa. The apparatus includes supporting framework for pulley systems which coact with each reach of the belt as it enters or leaves the conveyor portion and as it leaves or enters the storage portion, respectively.
