Abstract:
A belting connection for attaching a first end and a second end of belting. The belting has a thickness. The belting connection mechanism includes a first stepped region, a second stepped region and a first fastener. The first stepped region is proximate the first end. The first stepped region has a first aperture formed therein. The first stepped region has a first thickness. The second stepped region is proximate the second end. The second stepped region has a second aperture formed therein. The second stepped region has a second thickness. The first fastener extends through the first aperture and the second aperture to attach the first end to the second end. The first stepped region at least partially overlaps the second stepped region when the first end is attached to the second end. When the first end is attached to the second end, the first stepped region and the second stepped region have a combined thickness that is no greater than the thickness of the belting.

Claim (Index 1):
A belting connection in attaching a first end and a second end of belting, wherein the belting has a thickness and wherein the belting connection mechanism comprises:\n a first stepped region proximate the first end, wherein the first stepped region has a first aperture formed therein and wherein the first stepped region has a first thickness; a second stepped region proximate the second end, wherein the second stepped region has a second aperture formed therein and wherein the second stepped region has a second thickness; and a first fastener that extends through the first aperture and the second aperture to attach the first end to the second end, wherein the first stepped region at least partially overlaps the second stepped region when the first end is attached to the second end and wherein when the first end is attached to the second end, the first stepped region and the second stepped region have a combined thickness that is no greater than the thickness of the belting.
