ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A pair of adjacent and relatively angulated tubular section ends open into a transversely enlarged hollow housing having a sprocket wheel journaled therein for rotation about an axis disposed transverse to the plane containing the tubular section ends. The endless flexible member of a conveyor extends through the tubular sections and about the wheel and has longitudinally spaced paddles mounted thereon having openings formed therein through which the elongated tension member is loosely received. The paddles additionally include slots communicating the openings with the outer periph- eries of the paddles and the tubular section end opening into the hollow housing includes a lengthwise extending and upstream tapering guide mounted therein and engageable by the surfaces of the paddles defining the opposite sides of the slots formed therein for guidingly engaging the paddles, and thus the adjacent tension member portions upon their final approach toward the wheel. The wheel may be driven from an adjacent location or a remote location and the paddles are of a plan shape corresponding to the inside cross-sectional shape of the tubular sections with the paddles being slightly smaller in dimension than the interiors of the tubular sections.
