ABSTRACT:
The conveyor belt assembly includes links having forward and rearwardly laterally spaced projections with forward and rearward projections of adjacent links being interdigitated and coupled to one another by a shaft passing through the aligned openings of the link projections. The shaft includes a headed end having two retainer sections with projections extending in diametrically opposite directions outside of the peripheral confines of the shaft. Diametrically opposite inset portions at axially spaced locations are also provided. By inserting the non-headed end of the shaft through the aligned openings and pressing the headed end through the first opening, the headed end is deformed laterally, first in one direction and then in an opposite direction, in order to pass through the end opening into a lock cavity. The projections prevent axial movement of the shaft in respective opposite directions.
