Patent number: 10724601Abstract: A tension-link of the belt-splicer is based on a rope-loop of high-strength synthetic fibre, wound around bosses. The bosses and the loop are encapsulated in moulded plastic. The link connects cross-beams of the splicer. The link includes couplings which permit rotation when the beams deflect in bending. The links can be stored inside the hollow interior of the beams. The couplings include eccentrically-mounted blocks that can be orientated to adjust the length of the link.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Shaw-Almex Industries LimitedInventor: Timothy Glen Shaw
