An endless flexible seamed belt formed by joining two ends of the material from which the belt is fabricated is provided, the belt having at least one overlapping, butting, interlocking joint to form the endless belt, each end of the at least one overlapping butting, joint, contains a pair of interlocking members having a male projection and a female receptacle geometrically oriented so that the female receptacle on the first end receives the male projection on the second end and the male projection on the first end is received by the female receptacle on the second end to form a joint between the first and second ends, at least one receptacle being formed within and having a substantial depth in a portion of the belt material at the belt ends, at least one projection and receptacle pair being sized and shaped to form at least one pair of mutually mating elements in a combination overlapping, butting and interlocking joint to form the endless belt. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is a principle object of the present invention to provide a seamed belt with a relatively low thickness differential between the seam and the rest of the belt.
In accordance with a principle aspect of the present invention the belt is made by joining two ends of the material from which the belt is fabricated, each end having an overlapping, butting, interlocking joint to form an endless belt.
In a further principle aspect of the present invention each end of the at least one overlapping, butting joint comprises a pair of interlocking members having a male projection and a female receptacle geometrically oriented so that the female receptacle on the first end receives the male projection on the second end and the male projection on the first end is received by the female receptacle on the second end to form a joint between the first and second ends and the receptacles in the respective ends being formed and having a substantial depth in a portion of the belt material to reduce the seam height differential of the belt with the projections and receptacles being sized and shaped to form at least one pair of mutually mating elements in a combination overlapping, butting and interlocking joint to form the endless belt.
In a further aspect of the present invention there are a plurality of overlapping, butting, interlocking, joints to form the seam for the endless belt.
In a further aspect of the present invention the endless flexible seamed belt, the overlapping, butting, interlocking joints are of substantially the same dimension along the seam and are uniformly spaced along the length of the seam.
In a further aspect of the present invention the plurality of overlapping, butting, interlocking joints are unevenly spaced and may be of a different dimension along the length of the seam.
In a further aspect of the present invention each pair of mutually mating elements are of the same size and configuration laterally and longitudinally across the seam.
In a further aspect of the present invention the dimensional tolerances between the male projection and female receptacle are less than between 0
