Improvements in belt fasteners

... 421,295. Belt-fastenings. SPENCE, W. L., The Oaks Hotel, Leamington, Warwickshire. Aug. 19, 1933, No. 23157. [Class 80 (i)] A fastener for a rubber-covered conveyer or like belt comprises a plate fastener element B let into the belt A near its mid-thickness and cemented in position. In the form shown, the tapered plate B is coated with brass and vulcanized between the plies of the belt during manufacture. The surface of the plate may be roughened, and rivets may be employed to secure the plate more firmly. The projecting edge of the plate is perforated to receive an oval helix C of wire lacing. Two or more plates may be fixed in each belt end. The thickness of the helix C is greater than that of the belt, as set out in Specification 162,402, [Class 80 (i)].

... 876,879. Belt fastenings. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. April 2, 1958 [May 3, 1957], No. 14112/57. Class 80 (1). A joint between two ends of a belt 1 is formed by intermeshing loops 2, 8, 9 coupled by a rod 32. The loops are formed by cutting shaped and spaced fingers 5 in a duel-drawn nylon or polyester resin film reinforcement 3 of a rubber or thermoplastic belt and folding them back to form the loops into which are inserted rigid sleeves 10 of metal or plastic. Alternatively separate fingers forming the loops may be bonded on to the reinforcing film 3 which fingers may be of thin sheet steel to obviate the need for inserted sleeves. Specification 841,480 is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 708,461.

The defective location of the metal belt (4), at which it is to be welded, is stopped in the running direction of the belt, on the surface of a guide roller (2). The metal belt is supported by the guide roller at the location to be welded. The welded repair is made from the side opposite that (4b) contacting the guide roller. A thin additional support is introduced between the belt and the guide roller. This is a sheet or foil of copper or aluminum. Laser-, TIG- and/or friction welding is carried out, to make the repair. Following this, the welded location is ground on the side opposite that supported by the guide roller. The welded location is carried to the open region between guide rollers, where annealing is carried out to relieve internal stresses.

Шарнирный соединитель конвейерных лент

Полезная модель относится к транспортной технике, а именно к конвейерному транспорту. Предлагаемый соединитель конвейерных лент может быть использован для соединения лент, установленных на конвейерах, эксплуатируемых, в частности, на шахтах, рудниках, разрезах, карьерах и обогатительных фабриках как с нормальными, так и со сложными условиями эксплуатации. Технический результат полезной модели заключается в увеличении срока службы конвейера, снижении риска повреждения элементов ленточного става (скребков, приводных роликов и т.д.), повышении сопротивления вырыванию соединителя, упрощении процесса соединения концов конвейерной ленты, увеличении скорости и точности сборки соединителя, сохранении постоянной высокой прочности конвейерной ленты в месте стыка на всем протяжении срока эксплуатации соединителя. Технический результат достигается тем, что соединитель конвейерных лент содержит закрепляемые на концах конвейерной ленты и соединяемые посредством соединительного стержня U-образные крепежные элементы, которые представляют собой петли, переходящие в накладки, накладки стягиваются и прижимаются к полотну конвейерной ленты с помощью скоб, проходящих через отверстия в накладках. При этом с целью понижения разрушающего воздействия на элементы конвейера при сохранении необходимой прочности соединения U-образные крепежные элементы выполнены из стали с характеристикой твердости в диапазоне от 120 НВ до 180 НВ, пределом прочности от 300 H/мм до 480 H/мм. Технический результат достигается также тем, что U-образные крепежные элементы соединены в кассеты и фиксированы относительно друг друга посредством трех нитей проволоки, проходящих по всей длине кассеты. Технический результат достигается также тем, что одна нить проволоки расположена с внутренней стороны одной из накладок, а две оставшиеся нити проволоки расположены на внутренней поверхности другой. Технический результат достигается также тем, что скобы выполнены из проволоки диаметром от 2,5 мм до 3,0 мм. Технический ...

СОЕДИНИТЕЛЬ ЭЛАСТИЧНЫХ ЛЕНТ

Заявляемая полезная модель относится к соединениям эластичных лент, в том числе резиновых, резинотканевых и других, и, в частности, к механическим приводным ременным соединителям резинотканевых конвейерных лент и других. Целью заявляемой полезной модели является достижение такого технического результата, как повышение надежности соединения лент. Поставленная цель достигается следующим образом: соединитель эластичных лент, представляющий собой U-образную скобу с плоскими продолговатыми ветвями, симметричными относительно его продольной оси с закруглением по радиусу в основании U-образной скобы, на конце каждой ветви с внешней стороны расположено углубление с тремя отверстиями: по центру овальное отверстие и по бокам от него - два полукруглых отверстия, направленных своими прямыми сторонами к овальному отверстию; при этом все три отверстия расположены по продольной оси ветви, с возможностью продевания сквозь них крепежных скоб; в том числе характеризующийся тем, что каждая ветвь U-образной скобы содержит направленный острием во внутрь заостренный зубец и два ступенчатых расширения: срединное - меньшее и концевое - большее, так что именно в большем концевом расширении расположено углубление с отверстиями; причем угол расхождения внутренних поверхностей ветвей составляет 30°±5. Заявляемый соединитель эластичных лент может быть с успехом применен для стыковки как ленточных конвейеров, так и любых других лент, требующих соединения, например ленты шкива двигателя, и других конструкций, требующих передачи крутящего момента.
