Endless drive track joint assembly.

摘要

An assembly for joining ends of a drive track includes at least one connector member (4) or connector member belt situated within the endless drive track, one or two retaining rods (23) situated between abutting ends of the endless drive track, and a master link with a one-piece upper part (21) and a one-piece lower part (22). The connector member is situated within the endless drive track in such a way that substantially parallel lengths of the connector member extend longitudinally of the endless drive track and loops of the connector member extend from ends of the endless drive track. The loops extending from abutting ends of the endless drive track are looped around an individual retaining rod, or two different retaining rods, and the retaining rod(s) and loops are sandwiched between the upper and lower master link parts by means of a fastening device which holds the upper and lower master link parts to one another.
