A method of jointing woven belting, primarily but not necessarily, to produce an endless conveyor belt for use in the biscuit and flour confectionery industries comprises the steps of cutting parallel edges (2) across each of the two ends of the fabric (1) to be jointed and aligning the parallel edges (2) and the free ends (3) of cut yarns in the opposing parallel edges with one another. The free ends (3) of the yarns are then covered with a fusible pliable material (15), such as polyurethane strips (10, 12, 13), which is melted and cast into the gap (9) defined between the adjacent parallel edges (2). In this way the free yarn ends (3) are encased in the pliable material and the gap (9) is filled with the pliable material (15) to substantially the same depth as the thickness of the woven fabric (1). The pliable material is cooled to set and thereby joint the two ends of the fabric (1) together. Advantageously, the surfaces of the fusible pliable material (15) on both faces of the fabric (1) are impressed with a pattern to simulate the surface texture of the woven faces of the fabric (1) as the pliable material sets (15). |
