A splicer for wire mesh belts of a plurality of individual zigh-zag strands, adjacent strands interlocked and the belt having first and second ends joined by the splicer to form a continuous web, consists of an elongated wire having a plurality of generally U-shape splicer elements. The splicer elements have a base and upstanding legs at each end lying at obtuse angle to the base, and are arranged in alternating sequence, the base and legs of first elements directed toward the first belt end and the base and legs of adjacent second elements directed toward the opposed second belt end. The splicer also has connectors with arcuate segments adjoining the ends of adjacent legs. First splicer elements engage through and interlock with adjoining links of the first belt end, and second splicer elements engage through and interlock with adjoining links of the second belt end, thereby joining the ends of the belt in a continuous web. In preferred embodiments, the legs of the first elements and the legs of the second elements lie in generally parallel planes vertical to the belt. |
