ABSTRACT:
The connectable drive belt of the present invention includes an elongated circular cord formed from an elastomeric material. The ends of the cord are flattened and formed into a portion having a rectangular cross-section. A hole is formed in the end of each flattened portion. Then a metal clip having two hooks lying in planes perpendicular to one another is used to connect the opposite ends of the belt together. Once connected, the flattened ends of the belt are twisted 90 degrees relative to one another and are held in this position by the clip.
