First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A conveyor belt, the conveyor belt comprising: a plurality of slats, a first slat having a base for carrying an item, the base having a first opposing end and a second opposing end, the first opposing end and the second opposing end being substantially parallel to the direction of conveyance travel of the conveyor belt; and a coupling mechanism extending from a bottom surface of the base of the first slat in the center of the first slat, wherein the coupling mechanism is a knuckle, the knuckle being part of the base, and the knuckle being adapted to receive a cable and a portion of the cable is exposed at a top surface of the slat. 2. The conveyor belt of claim 1 , wherein the knuckle is a U-shaped loop. 3. The conveyor belt of claim 1 , further comprising a cable running adjacent to the bottom surface of the first slat. 4. The conveyor belt of claim 3 , wherein the cable traverses the knuckle. 5. The conveyor belt of claim 1 , wherein the first slat comprises a metal. 6.
