Abstract
A conveyor for transporting a workpiece from a first position to a second position along a curved path. The conveyor includes side members including a plurality of individual members arranged adjacent one another and allowing for such that individual members may move in a longitudinal direction relative to adjacent individual members to change the overall length of the side member. The side members are interconnected through use of slots and fasteners such that the slots in adjacent individual members are offset to allow for longitudinal adjustment between the adjacent members. Such adjustment results in an adjustable flexible conveyor enabling the conveyor to be adjustable in either direction along a particular curved path or configuration.
