A FASTENER FOR CONVEYOR BELTING

摘要

A fastener for conveyor belting has a plurality of fastener elements forming a strip adapted to join the ends of the of conveyor belting with the aid of a coupling rod. Each strips forms one half of the fastener and its parallel connecting elements have legs and eye lugs for the purpose of forming eyes to receive and encompass a coupling rod after the legs of the two halves have been secured to the two belt ends and after the two belt halves have been brought into alternate interlocking engagement. The elements are secured to the ends of the belting by using pin-like fastening means such as staples. A non-leaking connection and a grease lubrication of the coupling rod are provided by a caulking filler in the form of a molded body of a rubber elastic material with eye lug grooves and fin elements which are aligned with the respective eye lugs of the connecting strip as an extension thereof and the molded body encompasses the coupling rod at least in part.
