ABSTRACT

A modular plastic conveyor belt constructed of injection-molded belt modules
having narrowed portions either above or below rod holes in hinge elements.
The narrowed portions are formed by a restricted-flow region in an
injection-mold cavity that ensures that weld lines in the hinge elements are
angled off the pull line of the conveyor belt.
