Abstract
A drive belt with connector together with assembly tools for proper installation of the connector to the two open ends of a single portion of belt material. The main belt together with the flexible connector body are constructed of cord sections in various configurations and include in many embodiments a central spring member for adding strength and flexibility to the overall belt and means of connecting the belt. One tool is used to hold the respective ends of the main belt portion while the other tool holds the connector unit for engagement and connecting relationship with the two ends in order to form the overall completed belt structure.
Claims21
A drive belt and connector combination comprising;
- an elongated member of pulley engaging configuration, central means including an elongated element arranged along the center line of the elongated member and extending from one end to the other thereof, and connector means engageable with the said central means for the purpose of connecting the two ends of the elongated member to form a closed belt, said connector means including structure for complementing the central means within the elongated member in order to form a semi-permanent non-unlocking type connection between the two ends.
A drive belt and connector combination comprising;
- an elongated member of pulley engaging configuration, central means arranged along the center line of the elongated member and extending from one end to the other thereof, and connector means engageable with the said central means for the purpose of connecting the two ends of the elongated member to form a closed belt, the central means including a helical spring extending through the entire length of the elongated member.
A connection unit for repairing a broken drive belt comprising;
- a short section of belt type structure configured for pulley engaging drive, belt engaging means extending from each end of said section for connection between and to the broken ends of a drive belt for repairing same, the belt engaging means including a helical spring of the same hand extending from the respective ends of the short section of belt type structure.
A drive belt and connector assembly tool comprising;
- a handle member having a tapered projection extending from one end thereof and for engagement with a tapered side of a V-belt configured member, a second adjustable member mounted upon said first member and slidable therealong and having a secod flanged belt engaging member for the purpose of engaging an opposite side of the V-belt shaped member, and means for lockably holding said two members together.
A belt drive and connector combination assembly tool comprising;
- a primary handle member having spaced belt engaging members along the outer edges thereof, a second handle member having complementary belt engaging means spaced along the outer edges thereof, and means for linking the two members together so that they may be opened with respect to each other for the insertion of respective ends of a primary belt member and upon closing will support said respective ends in a spaced relationship there apart.
