  • Patent number: 11939165
    Abstract: An accessory assembly (1) of toothed belts (9), toothed conveyor belts (9a) or portions thereof, comprising a base piece (2), a first piece (3) and a second piece (4) with respectively a first, a second and a fourth coupling part (21, 31, 41). The first and the second coupling part (21, 31) are complementary to one another so that the first piece (3) is couplable above the base piece (2) in one or more predetermined positions and the fourth and the first coupling part (41, 21) are complementary to one another so that the second piece (4) is couplable above the base piece (2) in one or more predetermined positions. The first piece (3) comprises a third coupling part (32) complementary to the fourth coupling part (41) and which faces in an opposite direction to the second coupling part (31).

  • Patent number: 11913520
    Abstract: Two embodiments of a false tooth limit the damage to a toothed belt and of a bearing layer of a base of the toothed belt, which in general comprises cables or textiles. The false tooth comprises a longitudinal bar and a bushing which extends transversally from the longitudinal bar. In the first embodiment the longitudinal bar is tapered towards a free end of the bushing while in the second embodiment the longitudinal bar is profiled, i.e., has a flank for contacting the toothed belt which is convex towards the outside when viewed in transversal section. The false teeth are advantageously applied on toothed belts comprising grooves which cut the teeth, enabling a reduction of the thickness of the tooth during the winding. A method and a semi-finished workpiece are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8662874
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cogged belt for conveying articles and/or for power transmission, and an apparatus for realization thereof. The cogged belt (30, 50) comprises: a prefabricated belt (8) comprising a textile or a meshed net; and a covering (26) made of a thermoplastic or heat-hardening material fixed in a single body by fusion to the prefabricated belt (8) and substantially entirely covering a side of the prefabricated belt (8), the covering (26) forming a cogged profile (43). The cogged belt (30, 50) can further comprise at least a cord-shaped reinforcing core (61) at least partially incorporated in the covering (26).

  • Patent number: 6695134
    Abstract: A joint for toothed belt aimed at conveying articles, with the belt including an inner central layer, which defines the belt body, an upper layer, which defines a surface for receiving articles to be conveyed, and a lower layer featuring teeth, includes: first connecting mechanism, attached in an irremovable way to the central layer in the area of the terminal section of a belt first edge to be joined; second connecting mechanism, attached irremovably to the central layer in the area of the terminal section of a belt second edge to be joined. After the first edge had been moved close to the second edge to complete a closed loop formed by the belt, the first connecting mechanism and second connecting mechanism engage with each other and are reciprocally locked in a removable way by locking mechanism, acting crosswise to the belt in the area of the central layer, to join the first edge and second edge.
