ABSTRACT:
A connector for rotating belt-like members that are subjected to tension. The belt-like members are provided with reinforcements that form a unit. Furthermore, the members are made essentially of rubber or rubberlike materials, and have two ends. Two U-shaped fittings that are interconnected in an articulated manner are provided, with each fitting being provided with two legs having surfaces that face one another. In the mounted state, a given one of the ends of a belt-like member is disposed between the facing surfaces of the legs of a given fitting, whereby the fitting is secured to the belt-like member via fasteners. The facing surfaces of the legs are each furthermore provided with projections that extend transverse to the direction in which the member rotates. One of the projections of a given one of the legs is disposed across from the space between two projections of the facing leg. In a mounted state, the thickness of the belt-like member is such, and the distance between facing surfaces of the legs is such, that the unit is deformed in a wavelike manner in conformity to the configuration of the legs.
