Abstract
A lateral plate element () for a link for a self-stacking endless conveyor belt includes an outer plate section (); an inner plate section (); and a bridging plate section () bridging the outer and inner plate sections. A resting surface () engages a lateral plate element of an underlying tier of the self-stacking endless conveyor belt (). An upper portion with an associated upper edge () engages the resting surface of a lateral plate element of an overlaying tier of the self-stacking endless conveyor belt when it extends helically. An inner abutment surface () engages the upper portion of the underlying lateral plate element to limit outward lateral movement of the lateral plate element relative the underlying lateral plate element. An outer abutment surface () engages the upper portion of the underlying lateral plate element to limit the inward lateral movement of the lateral plate element relative the underlying lateral plate element. A spacer element () limits outward lateral movement of the lateral plate element relative the underlying lateral plate element.
