ABSTRACT:
A pair of belt clamps is used for tensioning a conveyor belt to join its ends. Each clamp comprises a channel member and a rectangular bar member sized to span the width of the belt. The channel member has parallel sidewalls and a center wall defining two channels sized to receive the narrow dimension of the bar member together with a thickness of the belt. Two pivotable links connect the ends of the bar member to the end of the center wall. The clamp is connected to a conventional haulage device via a rigid loop mounted on the bar member radially of the axis of rotation of such member about the connecting links. Pulling the loop lengthwise of the belt rotates the bar member into one of the channels to clamp the belt therein. The sidewall of the unused channel engages the underside of the belt to resist any tendency of the channel member to rotate.
