Abstract
A device for linking a conveyor belt includes an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate includes a highly extendable armature and the lower plate includes an inextensible or quasi inextensible armature. The two plates can be fastened onto the ends of a conveyor belt inserted between the two plates, which as such transforms this conveyor belt into an endless belt.
Claims6
A device for linking conveyor belts comprising:
- an upper plate and a lower plate, each of the upper and lower plate made of at least one of an elastomer and a synthetic material, the upper and lower plates comprising armatures,
- wherein the upper plate is arranged against outer faces of ends of the conveyor belts;
- and
- the lower plate is arranged against inner faces of the ends of the conveyor belts, wherein the armatures have properties of extendability and of compressibility, in a horizontal direction, differ, according to their arrangement in the device for linking,
- and in that an extendability limit of the armatures under an effect of forces of traction is not reached before, under an effect of equivalent forces of traction, a rupture of the armatures occurs.
