A disconnectable and reconnectable coupling device for a conveyor belt, consisting of two planar flexible members (A, a) having complementary front portions capable of being interlocked in a single plane, and rear portions adhered, vulcanised, riveted, stapled or thermoplastically welded to the ends of a conveyor belt, or directly integrally moulded therewith. The front portion of each flexible member has longitudinal oblong tabs (L1, L2, L3, l1, l2, l3) separated by cut-outs (E1, E2, E3, e1, e2, e3) with a shape complementary to that of the tabs. Said tabs include registering holes (1) for receiving at least two and preferably more links extending approximately transversely therethrough and consisting of a elastomeric material, with one or a number of reinforcing webs (1) to which the elastomeric material is adhered. The number of coupling links and their longitudinal spacing are selected according to the forces to be transmitted by the conveyor belt and the adherence of the surfaces of the elastomeric material to the surfaces of the reinforcing web or webs. |
