Abstract: There is a clamp for a conveyor belt. The clamp comprises a yoke having a shoulder member, two laterally extending arms defining a recess therebetween and a channel which extends through the yoke at a right angle to the width of the recess. In use of the clamp an edge portion of the belt is located in the recess and a pair of beams are inserted through the channel to pass respectively over and under the belt and rotation of a turn-screw extending through a threaded seat in one of the arms exerts a clamping force through the beams directly onto the edge portion of the belt.
