Bedienungsanleitung eines Förderbandes:

Besondere Bauformen von Förderbänder wie z.B. mit einem Knick (L-Förderband), mit zwei Knicken (Z-Förderband) sind vom Grundrahmen wie oben bereits beschrieben aufgebaut.

Explanation:
I can't imagine an L-shape would be called a curve and really didn't find any references on a brief review. Curves are typically rounded. An "angle" would make more sense in this sense...
