Abstract
A curved conveyor includes an outer circumferential frame supported by L-shaped legs. An inner circumferential frame is supported in a cantilevered manner from the outer circumferential frame by means of horizontally extending beams connected between the inner circumferential frame and the outer circumferential frame. A drive-side tapered roller is rotatably supported at one end of the inner and outer circumferential frames and a lift-up section carrying a driven side tapered roller is pivotally supported at the opposite end of the inner and outer circumferential frames.
