ABSTRACT:
A wire link connection system includes at least first and second wire connection links that connect a first wire link to a second wire link, for example, as a splice connection in a wire conveyor belt. The wire connecting links include linking portions that link the first and second wire links. One of the wire connecting links includes a female coupling portion such as a coupling loop at or proximate one end, while the other wire connecting link includes a male coupling portion, such as a coupling hook, at or proximate one end. The male coupling portion engages the female coupling portion in a "snap" fit to couple the first and second wire connecting links. The female coupling portion or coupling loop defines an aperture and the male coupling portion or coupling hook includes a flared head such that the male coupling portion is received in the aperture and the flared head engages and locks with the coupling loop.
