  • Patent number: 8365906
    Abstract: A conveyor belt with a reinforcement support layer consisting of steel cords running in parallel has, at each end, the hinge-like configuration for coupling to another belt end. In order also to provide a hinge connection for steel cord conveyor belts having relatively large cord diameters, each belt end (1, 2) has a part hinge (6, 7). Each part hinge (6 and 7) has a hinge bar (12 and 13) on which an integrated clamping plate (14 and 15) is integrally formed. The integrated clamping plate (14 and 15) is seated in the one belt outer surface (18) of the conveyor belt. On the opposite belt outer surface (22), a corresponding, separate clamping plate (24 and 27) is seated in each case in the rubber cover layer there. The clamping plate of each part hinge securely clamps the corresponding thickness-reduced belt end therebetween.
