Abstract
A conveyor drive construction. The conveyor includes a frame and an endless belt conveyor is mounted for travel on the frame. A drive mechanism is operably connected to the lower run of the conveyor belt and includes a pair of side members, each composed of a pair of laminated sheet metal plates. The plates of each pair have aligned openings with the edges bordering the openings in the outer plate being offset from the edges bordering the openings in the inner plate to provide outwardly facing recesses. A plurality of belt carrying spindles extend between the side members and are engaged with the lower run of the belt. The shafts of the spindles are carried by support members, such as bearings, which are mounted in the offset recesses of the side members.
