An open web conveyor comprising a pair of endless belts formed from belt pieces having at least one aperture for securing the belt to a connector, each belt piece having a tensile reinforcement cord extending substantially longitudinally therethrough, continuously between the ends of the belt piece and around the one or more apertures therein, the position of the one or more apertures within the ends of the belt piece and the location of the cord within the belt piece being such that the resultant force acting on the or each aperture due to tension applied to the reinforcing means during use of the belt piece acts in a substantially radial direction with respect to the axis of said the or each aperture, whereby there is substantially no resultant turning moment about the or each aperture. |
