A conveyor belt (1) is composed of a number of identical links in the formation of an endless belt, where each link comprises at least one axle (3) arranged transversely in relation to the direction of travel (2), and an outer link (4) at each side in engagement with the axle. Each outer link comprises an elongated hole for the adjacent link's axle, so that the belt can be driven in a curve in the plane of the belt. Each outer link has at least one securing hole for a transverse axle, where the coupling-together between the axle (3 and the outer link (4) is effected by a separable snap-lock. The outer link is moulded as a one-piece unit in a suitable plastic material, preferably by injection moulding. The outer links (4) can also be configured in a larger version for the construction of conveyor belts for operation in self-stacking helical systems.

[ What is claimed is:] [9.]9. A conveyor belt comprising a plurality of identical linkages in the formation of an endless belt, wherein each linkage of said plurality of linkages comprises:at least one axle arranged transversely in relation to a direction of travel of the belt; andat least one outer link at each end of and in firm engagement with said axle, said outer link comprising at least one elongated hole for receiving an axle of an adjacent linkage and placed so that the belt can be driven in a curve in a plane of the belt, a radius of which is dependent on the size of the elongated holewherein each outer link comprises an upwardly-facing side plate moulded in one piece with the link, said side plate having two areas which are offset from each other in the vertical plane, so that adjacent side plates of adjacent linkages can slide in over each other, andwherein an underside of said outer link opposite said upwardly-facing side plate comprises a track arranged so that the linkage can rest on an upper edge of a upwardly-facing side plate of an underlying conveyor belt, said track being formed by a first downwardly-extending part, a second downwardly-extending part offset from said first downwardly-extending part, and a substantially lateral track surface thereinbetween so that said upper edge of a upwardly-facing side plate of said underlying conveyor belt contacts said substantially lateral track surface, and is received between said first downwardly-extending part and said second downwardly-extending part.
