ABSTRACT A module for forming a conveyor belt which uses the center transverse connecting member to receive a driving force from an intermeshed sprocket is disclosed. Each of the modules is suitable for being pivotally connected with a multiplicity of similar modules by pivot rods to construct a conveyor belt. Each of the modules includes a plurality of elongated links which extend the length of the module and which define a pivot hole at each end which are aligned in the module to form first and second pivot axes. The elongated links of each of the modules are joined by an integrally molded connecting structure which extends transverse to the elongated links so as to maintain and join the relative position of the elongated links with respect to each other. The transverse member or connecting structures further define driving surfaces on opposite sides for receiving a driving force to move the module and the belt constructed from a multiplicity of the modules in two selected and opposite directions. In a preferred embodiment, the elongated links are selectively spaced by means of spacers integrally molded to one side surface of one of the plurality of link ends and a second group of spacers which are integrally molded to the other side surface of the second plurality of link ends. This maintains one side of the elongated links in contact with the opposite side of an elongated link of a pivotally connected module thereby allowing end-to-end reversability.
