A transmission belt includes a belt body, two spaced-apart mounting axles and a reinforcing unit. The belt body forms a loop that defines an inner space. The mounting axles and the reinforcing unit are embedded in the belt body. The reinforcing unit includes at least one cord that includes a plurality of winding segments and a plurality of connecting segments. The winding segments alternately extend around the mounting axles. Each of the connecting segments interconnects a corresponding pair of the winding segments that respectively extend around the mounting axles.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a fastener is provided for securing to an end of a conveyor belt having cables. The fastener comprises a crimp configured to be fixed to a conveyor belt cable and a connector. The connector has a unitary, one-piece fastener body with an upper portion for being disposed adjacent an upper surface of the conveyor belt end and a lower portion for being disposed adjacent a lower surface of the conveyor belt end. The upper and lower portions are spaced apart to receive the crimp therebetween and permit the conveyor belt cable to extend in an outboard direction between the upper and lower portions. The connector includes a stop arranged to block inboard movement of the crimp and the conveyor belt cable fixed thereto.

The invention relates to a belt (1) with a first belt end (11) and a second belt end (12), both belt ends (11, 12) being connected together. The belt (1) is characterized in that the first belt end (11) has at least one first segment (13) and a second segment (14), and the second belt end (12) has at least one first segment (15) and a second segment (16). The first segment (13) of the first belt end (11) is connected to the first segment (15) of the second belt end (12) by means of at least one connection element (17), and the second segment (14) of the first belt end (11) is connected to the second segment (16) of the second belt end (12) by means of at least one other connection element (17), wherein the first segment (13) of the first belt end (11) is offset in the longitudinal direction (X) in some sections relative to the second segment (14) of the first belt end (11), and the first segment (15) of the second belt end (12) is offset in the longitudinal direction (X) in some sections relative to the second segment (16) of the second belt end (12).

In one aspect, a system is provided for securing fasteners to a conveyor belt end. The system includes a fastener bed to support fasteners, the fastener bed including a plurality of aligned fastener holes configured to receive staples of lower plates of the fasteners. The system further includes an applicator comprising a plurality of operating members operable to interface with the fastener holes of the fastener bed to advance the applicator along the fastener bed, secure the applicator relative to the fastener bed, and drive legs of the staples through the conveyor belt and into apertures of upper plates of the fasteners. The applicator is operable to urge upper plates of the fasteners against the conveyor belt end and bend the staple leg end portions against the upper plates of the fasteners to secure the fasteners to the conveyor belt end.

A flexible thermoplastic conveyor belt constructed of one or more belt segments having corrugated sidewalls. The one or more segments are joined end to end at one or more joints. The ends of the sidewalls at or near the joints are fastened together by fasteners to form a continuous sidewall along the length of the belt. The fasteners are toolless fasteners requiring no tools; they can be fastened and unfastened by hand alone.
