Abstract
A modular belt link has leading and a trailing edges with a top surface located between the leading and trailing edges. A plurality of eye parts project from both the leading and trailing edges, and are spaced laterally and off set from one another such that eye parts on a trailing edge of one belt link may be inserted between eye parts on the leading edge of an adjacent belt link. Means are provided for mutually and hingedly connecting adjacent belt links such that the eye parts along the trailing and leading edge are united with substantially unbroken leading and trailing walls arranged perpendicular to the top surface. The walls are spaced from one another. Reinforcing ribs are arranged between the walls and an underside of the belt links. The reinforcement ribs extend at an oblique angle not parallel to the intended transport direction of the belt links.
