Abstract

A belt connector includes a frame body that forms an opening part passing through in a Z direction. The frame body is provided with: a first wrapping part which wraps around a first belt inserted into the opening part; a second wrapping part which is disposed across the opening part from the first hook part in a Y direction and wraps around a second belt inserted into the opening part; a first side part and a second side part disposed so as to have the opening part therebetween in the X direction; and a support part which is connected to at least one of the first side part and the second side part and supports the first wrapping part. At least a portion of the support part is elastically deformed when the first wrapping part receives a load from the first belt.
