An apparatus for attaching connectors to the ends of a conveyor belt, has a clamping head with upper and lower pressure applying jaws for first bending a connector element over and around the edge of the belt end, and then driving securing elements through the legs of the connector element and through the belt. Bending tools are arranged for bending over the free, protruding ends of the securing elements, preferably into grooves of the connector element. The upper jaw has centering projections which cooperate with centering recesses in the connector element. Catch pins ahead of the upper jaw provide a precentering. A measuring device permits checking the belt thickness for adjusting the jaw spacing. An apertured rail functions as a holder for the connector and securing elements and also as an abutment for the feed advance as well as for the stopping of the clamping head which is stepped from connector element to connector element along the edge of the conveyor belt end. |
