A belt lacer uses a power drive carriage for clinching hook or C-shaped b elt lacing elements to a belt end. Optionally, the carriage may be driven in a manual mode or a power mode. A detachable power drive such as from an ele ctric drill may be used for the power mode. The power drive of the carriage may be stopped short of an end wall and a return mechanism may return the ca rriage to the power drive. A moveable belt support in a hand space position allows for working on the lacing elements and may be shifted to a belt suppo rting position. The belt clamp exerts a forwardly directed force on the belt as it is being clamped. Face plates or combs may be stored on the belt lace r. A latch secures the face plates against lateral sliding during clinching by clinching rollers on the carriage. |
