  • Belt connecting method, presetter, and belt connecting apparatus
    Patent number: 7650987
    Abstract: A method for enabling a presetter to connect connecting portions of belts having different widths, and for forming an endless connection of a flat belt with no defects such as the bend of the connecting portions.
