Claim 10:
11. A method of manufacturing a conveyor belt splice, comprising:
stripping an upper part and a lower part of a body of a conveyor belt at a first end portion and a second end portion of the conveyor belt;
attaching a splice frame to the first end portion and the second end portion of the conveyor belt, wherein the splice frame comprises retaining members having at least one body configured to extend through a thickness of the conveyor belt so as to secure the at least one body of the retaining members to the first end portion of the conveyor belt and anchoring members configured to engage with cables extending at least partially axially within the first end portion of the conveyor belt, and
installing a splicing device so as to join the first end portion and second end portion of the conveyor belt,, wherein
the splicing device comprises at least two splicing plates and one or more fasteners, the at least two splicing plates are configured to cover a separate side of the first end portion and the second end portion of the conveyor belt with the first end portion and the second end portion of the conveyor belt arranged between the at least two splicing plates, and the at least two splicing plates are secured together by the one or more fasteners of the splicing device,
the retaining members comprise a retention interface for retaining the one or more fasteners of the splicing device when the first end portion and the second end portion of the conveyor belt are arranged between the two splicing plates of the splicing device and secured together by the one or more fasteners, and
the retention interface is configured to retain the one or more fasteners of the splicing device when a tensile force is applied between the splicing device and the conveyor belt.
