Belt and method of splicing the same

摘要

The method of splicing belt ends to form an endless belt wherein such belt has reinforcing cords extending longitudinally therethrough. The respective belt ends are sheared to provide complimentary mating faces which are cemented together. Slots are cut along the running length of both end belt sections across the splice line and spaced laterally from the reinforcing cords. Additional cords are placed into such slots and cemented to both sections to provide an integral endless belt.
