Photoconductive belt joint

摘要

A photoconductive belt for use in an electrophotographic copying machine has extremities thereof joined together in a manner keeping one side of the belt even for smooth movement through electrophotographic processing stations yet avoiding loosening of the joint by backward and forward bendings of the belt in its path in the machine. The joined extremities have end edges formations which mainly interfit yet each comprises lips that extend over the surface of the other extremity, all the lips being at the same side of the belt and being covered by an adhesive strip that joins the extremities together.
