Abstract: A conveyor belt has a mono-ply construction comprising a central fabric ply, top and bottom cover layers and a connection interconnecting the opposite ends of the belt. The top and bottom cover layers are removed from the opposite ends of the belt to define exposed fabric ply regions which are arranged in a mutually overlapping relationship. Two connection plates extend generally over the entire width of the conveyor belt on opposite sides thereof, and fasteners extend through the connection plates and the opposite ends of the conveyor belt to form a secure, yet flexible, connection.

Abstract: A connector for conveyor belts and the like includes a plurality of connection elements disposed in a side-by-side relationship to extend across the end edge of an associated belt. Each of the connection elements includes outwardly disposed shank portions with free ends shaped for insertion into the opposite faces of the belt, and inwardly disposed loop-shaped center portions arranged to mesh with a like connector on the opposite end of the belt. A generally flat cover element has a central aperture through which the center portions of the connection elements are inserted, and is deformable for folding the cover element over the end edge of the belt and onto the opposite faces of the belt to cover the shank portions of the connection elements on both sides of the belt.

Abstract: A manual skiver for conveyor belts and the like includes a base with a flat bearing surface for engaging an associated belt face, and a blade receiving opening through the bearing surface. A handle is connected with the base to facilitate drawing the skiver across the belt face. A thin cutting blade is mounted in the base at a predetermined angle, and includes a U-shaped cutting edge defined by a flat central area and upstanding side areas at opposite sides of the central area. The U-shaped cutting edge extends through the blade opening, and is positioned a predetermined distance below the bearing surface to cut a groove in the belt face having a uniform depth.

Abstract: A portable belt lacer fastens to an associated belt end a plurality of side-by-side connectors of the type having opposing shanks interconnected by central eye loops with staples that extend through the opposing shanks and the associated belt end. The belt lacer includes a bending die configured to bend free ends of the staples upon penetration into and through the associated belt end, and a press head operably connected with said bending die with a die that is shifted vertically in the direction of said bending die to insert the staples. Positioners upstanding from the bending die are configured to abuttingly engage the connectors to precisely locate the same on the bending die, and a centering rod is inserted through the eye loops of the connectors, and is laterally shiftable toward and away from the bending die, such that the connectors are accurately and positively positioned along the associated belt end by capturing the connectors between the positioners and the centering rod.

Abstract: A belt lacer for connectors of the type having a plurality of wire hooks arranged in a side-by-side relationship includes a base element, and a holding member supported on the base element, and configured to receive and retain therein the belt connectors. The belt lacer also includes a crimping jaw having a pair of crimping jaw members rotatably mounted on the base element for mutual rotational motion, and configured to abuttingly engage from opposite directions the belt connectors retained in the holding member. Means are provided for converging and diverging said crimping jaw members, and a mechanism positively couples the rotational motion of the crimping jaw members relative to the base member.

Abstract: This invention relates to a connection for two ends (2,4) of a conveyor belt (1), comprising connection elements (6) which are attached by means of fixing elements (7) to the conveyor belt ends (2, 3). A covering (17), which covers the connection elements (6) and the fixing elements (7) thereof, is disposed on at least one face of the conveyor belt (1). A fastener (21) for the covering (17) cooperates with the connection elements (6). In order to create a connection which is distinguished by its particularly prolonged durability, the invention essentially proposes that the respective fastener (21) is attached to one or both limbs (11) of the connection element of U-shaped form, or to a plate or to plates which are disposed on both faces of the conveyor belt and which rigidly connect the conveyor belt ends. (FIG. 2).

Abstract: The invention pertains to an installation for fastening a connecting elem (1), specifically a U-shaped one, to the end (9) of a conveyor belt (10) with a peg-shaped fastening element (7). The fastening element is pushed through entry openings in the connecting element and through the conveyor belt, and is deformed at least in the area of its preceding end by a ram (36) that has a deforming contour, and is located in a tool (16). According to the invention, there follows also a secondary deformation of this area by a pressure bar (38), which is brought into contact with the tool containing the ram and the deformed end of the fastening element, after the contour of the fastening element had been already deformed.
