Abstract
A clip for attaching an end of a web to a drive belt. The clip comprises an elongate mount for receiving an end of the web, and an attachment section for securing the clip to the belt. The attachment section comprises two spaced pairs of claws for gripping the drive belt such that the drive belt and the web are substantially parallel and a flexible support connecting the two spaced pairs of claws providing flexibility in the direction of travel, such that, in use, the flexible support can deform to conform to the path of the drive belt as the drive belt passes through a processing apparatus. The resulting clip is easy to use, reliable during use and easily removed from the drive belt at the end of a processing operation.
