Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / conveyor belts
Italian term or phrase: cordamolla / corda molla
Company manufacturing conveyor belts (chain conveyors/trasportatori a catena, screw conveyors/trasportatori a cochlea) and joinery accessories for grain and cereal handling. Accessories include:

Cordamolla: qualora sia necessario sostenere un trasportatore lungo un tratto sospeso nel vuoto, è possibile utilizzare il cordamolla che permette per mezzo di apposite staffe e funi di sostenere la macchina per un certo tratto.
Draft translation: U-shaped support: if a section of the conveyor needs to be suspended in the air, it is possible to use a *U-shaped support?* which secures the machine by means of specific brackets and cables.

Very hard to find useful references for 'cordamolla/'corda molla' in this context.
I imagine it hangs from the ceiling and supports the conveyor belt, and possibly resembles a loose cord / hanging rope...U-shaped support element? All guesses really.
NO other context / pictures available unfortunately :-(

All help gratefully appreciated.
