ABSTRACT:
A device for splicing ends of a belt together in juxtaposed relation includes a central generally planar spacer element and two outer generally planar belt clamping elements. The ends of the belt are positioned between the spacer and respective clamping elements so that the clamping effect occurs across the mating surfaces thereof. A through bolt and nut are used to tighten the spacer, belt and clamping element arrangement together. The generally planar surfaces of the spacer element transform into oppositely, outwardly curving belt engaging surfaces at opposite edges thereof, resulting in a form of "I" or "bone" cross-section. The opposing surfaces of the two belt clamping elements have complementing inwardly curving belt engaging surfaces that cooperate to pre-tension the belt as the clamping elements are tightened together. Each of the opposing belt engaging surfaces is formed with parallel linear ridges, or corrugations, which cooperate to deform the belt material slightly in order to retain the belt ends in juxtaposed relation within the belt splicer.
