Abstract
A portable apparatus is provided for affixing a lacer assembly to one end of a belt. A lacer assembly is in the form of a plurality of paralleled metal lacing hooks each having a pin receiving loop, the lacing hooks each having opposed sharpened ends that are spaced to receive the end of a belt therebetween. The apparatus has a base that supports a backup anvil and moveable anvil that receives a lacer attached therebetween. The lacer attachment includes an elongated bolt extendable through the loop of each of the lacer hooks by which a lacer assembly is temporarily retained. A manually operatable jack is supported to the base and has a moveable portion that engages the moveable anvil. When one end of a belt is positioned between the sharpened ends of the lacer hooks positioned in the lacer attachment the jack can be actuated to force the lacer attachment jaws towards each other to deform the lacer hooks to attach them to the belt.
