A junction plate for a junction device of conveyor belt intended to connect two ends of at least one conveyor belt. The junction device is of a type having at least two junction plates fastened together with the ends of the conveyor belt by fasteners each including a head and an anchoring section. The junction plate includes first interfaces to cooperate with the heads of the fasteners and second interfaces to cooperate with the anchoring sections of the fasteners. The second interfaces are distinct from the first interfaces and include inserts incorporated at least in part in the junction plate. The first and second interfaces are arranged so as to form a succession of patterns which are repeated, and each pattern has as many first interfaces as second interfaces.

The present invention relates to conveyors, comprising at least one circulating conveyor strand (7, 8), wherein the conveyor strand has at least one clamping connection (1), wherein at least one sensor (2) is arranged in the clamping connection (1), a transmitter (3) for wirelessly transmitting data is arranged on the conveyor strand (7, 8), the sensor (2) is connected with the transmitter (3), and a receiver (4) for receiving the data transmitted by the transmitter (3) is provided.

A collating system for rivets is provided that includes a rivet holder for supporting rivets in a predetermined pattern. In one form, the rivet holder includes a body having cavities for supporting the rivets therein. The rivet holder body includes a top plate member and a bottom plate member. The rivet holder has drive heads connected to the top plate member via frangible portions and the bottom plate member has retaining webs disposed below the drive heads. The top and bottom plates are secured together to capture heads of the rivets between the drive heads and retaining webs. The drive heads may be driven downward to drive the rivet heads from the rivet holder and into bores of a guide block with the retaining webs flexing to release the rivet head from the lower bottom plate member. A method of using the rivet collating system is also disclosed.
