Abstract:
A method for splicing belt ends of an endless belt, as in the field, wherein uniform tension is provided to the reinforcing members such as strands or cables in the spliced section. The respective spaced ends or sections have all belting material removed leaving each end with a laterally extending end section spaced from its adjacent main body section of the belt and interconnected only by the cable. The dressed end sections are overlapped and thence the center section of the overlapped portions are cast into a belt section with cables embedded therein. The laterally extending end sections are cut leaving two uncast sections which are then cast or molded to encapsulate the remaining bare cables to form a continuous belt by such splicing.
Abstract:
A conveyor belt made of urethane having reinforcement embedded therein which reinforcement permits the stretching of the belt under controlled conditions. The reinforcement consists of a fabric or a plurality of aligned strands that are embedded in the urethane body of the belt proper that allow for a controlled stretch in the conveyor belt until such fabric or cords limit the stretching of such belt.
Abstract:
The method of splicing belt ends to form an endless belt wherein such belt has reinforcing cords extending longitudinally therethrough. The respective belt ends are sheared to provide complimentary mating faces which are cemented together. Slots are cut along the running length of both end belt sections across the splice line and spaced laterally from the reinforcing cords. Additional cords are placed into such slots and cemented to both sections to provide an integral endless belt.
