Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for splicing a belt which includes a base to which the belt end is mounted, a holding device which is slidably mounted to move in a direction oblique to the longitudinal direction of elongation of the belt and cutting member means mounted on the holding device. In the preferred embodiment, the cutting member comprises a knife which may be attached to the holding device in one of two orientations, a first orientation of which is designed to enable the knife to trim off the belt end, and the second orientation of which is designed to enable the knife to split the belt end between the plies thereof. In the second orientation, the holding device includes a stepped configuration allowing the knife to be clamped at any one of a number of different elevations so that the splitting procedure may accurately be carried out between the desired plies.
