ABSTRACT:
A belt clamping apparatus is disclosed including a pivotal lever over which the belt is directed. A universal mounting bracket assembly is provided for the lever. A clamp bar is carried by the lever including a first clamping area for contacting the belt and clamping the belt against a corresponding second clamping area substantially fixed relative to the mounting bracket. The clamping bar is retained within an open channel and is provided with a centrally located spherical dome on its back side to provide point contact with the internal flat surface of the retainer channel on the mounting lever. The point contact assures multi-directional rocking or floating movement of the bar when the lever is actuated by a predetermined force on the belt assuring maximum restraining action.
