Joining device with spacer for linking the two ends of a conveyor belt

A junction device for connecting two ends of at least one longitudinal conveyor belt, the junction device comprising at least:

• a first junction plate and a second junction plate configured to each cover a distinct side of the ends of the conveyor belt such that said conveyor belt is interposed vertically between the two junction plates, said junction plates forming a first pair of wings configured to pinch a first end of the conveyor belt and a second pair of wings configured to pinch a second end of the conveyor belt, the first pair of wings and the second pair of wings being on either side of a junction plane, the junction plane extending transversally to the centre of the assembly formed by the first junction plate and the second junction plate,
• a fastening device for fastening said junction plates together, and
• a removable spacer configured to be interposed vertically between the first junction plate and the second junction plate to move apart said plates, and which delimits a centring hole configured to be traversed by a linking element which fastens the spacer onto the junction plates,
• wherein the spacer is further configured to be interposed between the wings of the first pair of wings, such that the centring hole of the spacer is offset from the junction plane, to free a space delimited between the second pair of wings, and the spacer has a stop face configured to face the second pair of wings, and which is configured to extend at least in part along the junction plane, to form an end stop of the conveyor belt along the junction plane, when the spacer is in an assembled position.
