ABSTRACT:
A splice assembly is provided for connecting together a pair of belt ends by splice members having elongated tensile members such as cables or straps in a manner which allows for troughing of the belt across its width at the connected belt ends. End members are fastened to the ends of the cables or belts and the belt fasteners have slots or apertures for engageably receiving the ends members of the cables or straps, whereby the cables or straps are affixed to both of the first and second belt ends to be joined along the width of the belt ends. There is a small gap between adjacent belt fasteners which allows for flexion of the belt to allow for the aforementioned troughing of the belt. The belt splice may be provided with a support slab, which protects the cables or belts against abrasion or being snagged and which also maintains a plurality of cables or straps in spaced, generally parallel relation. The opposite ends of the support slab, from which the ends of the cables or straps protrude, are preferably curved inwardly to accommodate the leading end of the belt fasteners to shield this region from particulate sifting. The belt splices extend in a transverse direction to positions closely adjacent one another to reduce sifting of material through spaces between adjacent belt fasteners.
