Patent number: 11473649Abstract: In one aspect, a system is provided for securing fasteners to a conveyor belt end. The system includes a fastener bed to support fasteners, the fastener bed including a plurality of aligned fastener holes configured to receive staples of lower plates of the fasteners. The system further includes an applicator comprising a plurality of operating members operable to interface with the fastener holes of the fastener bed to advance the applicator along the fastener bed, secure the applicator relative to the fastener bed, and drive legs of the staples through the conveyor belt and into apertures of upper plates of the fasteners. The applicator is operable to urge upper plates of the fasteners against the conveyor belt end and bend the staple leg end portions against the upper plates of the fasteners to secure the fasteners to the conveyor belt end.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Flexible Steel Lacing CompanyInventors: Joannes Stefanus van't Schip, Daniel J. Kuiper, Jason Carr, Nekheel Gajjar, William J. Daniels, William Robert Wawczak
