ABSTRACT:
An improved adjustable conveyor belt has a plurality of modules having intermeshing link ends extending lengthwise. The modules are connected together by connecting pins extending widthwise through holes formed in the link ends. Each of the modules also has side edges and a slot adjacent to each of its side edges. Thus, slots are provided along the side edges of the belt regardless of the arrangement of the modules. A stop, removably fitted into slots located along the side edges of the belt, prevents widthwise movement of the connecting pins. The stop has a guide mechanism for guiding the stop into the slot, an end portion which extends into the pin insertion hole, an engaging portion which engages a tongue formed in the slot, and a protrusion which snaps into the pin insertion hole. This configuration makes it easy to assemble, add to, and dismantle the conveyor belt, without substantially increasing the size or weight of the assembly.
