Abstract: A conveyor belt including a pulley cover layer, a carry cover layer, and at least one reinforcement layer disposed within the belt between the pulley cover layer and the carry cover layer. The belt has a first edge section, a second edge section, and a load carrying section. The first edge section and the second edge section are located on each side of the conveyor belt, and the load carrying section is located between the first second edge sections. The reinforcement layer is comprised of a woven fabric which has weft threads extending across the width of the belt and passing into both the first edge section and the second edge section of the conveyor belt. The woven fabric also has warp threads located in the load carrying section of the conveyor belt extending longitudinally throughout the belt without passing into either the first or the second edge section.

Abstract: The present invention is based upon the discovery that the steel cords in conveyor belt splices can be brazed together in a specific and cost effective manner to attain splices which having improved strength and durability. The present invention more specifically discloses a conveyor belt which is reinforced with steel cables and which includes a first section and a second section which are bonded together with a splice, wherein said splice bonds a first set of steel cables from the first section of the conveyor belt to a second set of steel cables from the second section of the conveyor belt with a braze alloy, and wherein the first set of steel cables and the second set of steel cables are contained within a ferrule at the point of where the first set of steel cables are bonded to the second set of steel cables.
