Abstract
A conveyor belt for following a conveyance path with straight and curved conveyance path sections is constructed of module rows of a module () or a plurality of modules situated side by side in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt. Adjacent module rows are connected to each other by means of connecting pins (). Each module comprises a set () of first aligned spaced fingers () with transverse aperture (), and also a set () of second aligned spaced fingers () with transverse aperture (), which in general are disposed in a staggered position relative to the first fingers (). The mutual distance between at least the three outermost fingers of a set situated side by side and having the same width in a set is greater than the mutual distance between fingers situated side by side at a distance from the abovementioned at least three outermost fingers. A shorter run-in length and run-out length of a curved conveyance section of the conveyance path is achieved in this way.
