  • Publication number: 20120090965
    Abstract: The proposed device comprises chain links alternately connected to upper fastening plates and to lower fastening plates. These plates comprise fastening claws of which some are arranged on the front and/or rear edges of the plates and others inside the surface of the plates. Stops are provided for blocking the chain links along the edge of the end of a conveyor belt. Another series of similar chain links are placed against the other end of the conveyor belt. The two series of chain links and plates are braced against the upper and lower sides of the respective conveyor belt ends, the claws fastening them to these ends. A connecting rod is then fitted into the chain links of the two pre-interleaved series, bringing together the conveyor belt ends in the process.

  • Patent number: 7980979
    Abstract: A junction for a conveyor belt that includes first and second half-junctions attachable to one end of the conveyor belt. Each of the half-junctions having substantially matching shapes that allow the half-junctions to be interlinked. The half-junctions include a flexible core, and being respectively equipped with cup inserts and bush inserts allowing the passage of an assembly mechanism. Each of the cores extend towards the inside of each half-junction forming a fold at a free edge of each of the half-junctions. The top level of the first half-junction contains the fold and in which a front edge of the bottom level has substantially the same shape as a front edge of the top level, but is shifted towards the rear at least by the distance that separates the front edge of the top level from the cup inserts that are the furthest from the front edge of the top level.

  • Patent number: 6374462
    Abstract: The fastener comprises curved incorporated claws (4) serving to fix it to one end of a conveyor belt. The lower fixation plate of the fastener comprises curved raised edges (6) intended to make the points of the claws (4) enter under the small bars of ports (5) arranged by shearing and stamping in the lower fixation plate. The points of the claws (4) are locked along the lower front and back ridges (9) by the flattening of the small bars of the ports (5) during the final tightening of the fasteners during their fixation on the end of a conveyor belt.

  • Patent number: 5669114
    Abstract: The joining device is constituted by U-shaped staples fixed to the ends of the conveyor belt. The staples (1) comprise in their concave part a ring (3) of a wear resisting material the wear being due to the friction, and which has also good slipping properties. A tightness stripe (8) links the rings (3) and therefore the staples (1). The tightness stripe (8) comprises blades (9) which form a double tightness barrier in the gaps which are present between the front part (14) of the conveyor belt (13) and the front convex part of the opposed staple. The staples (1) are connected by means of a linking and hinging rod (15) threaded across the rings (3) of the successive staples (1) belonging alternately to one and to the other staple row. When mounted the rings (3) are in abutment against the front part (14) of the conveyor (13).

  • Patent number: 3945407
    Abstract: This method and the apparatus for carrying out same are characterised essentially in that, during the weaving of the tape of the element, two separate filaments are inserted into the texture for constituting the fastening or coupling members propers by engaging by turns one and the other filaments between the warp yarns, at spaced intervals, to constitute at each point of insertion a transverse loop wound in one direction for one filament and in the opposite directions for the other filament, and meanwhile these filaments are disposed in the longitudinal direction on the side opposite to the coupling members proper, whereby these filaments constitute two variable-pitch helices of which the loops wound in opposite directions are imbricated, every other loop belonging to the same helix.
