A belt clamp having a member for receiving a recess of a belt wound around a fork pin and a fastener for clamping a first member to a second member.

Background technology:

Typically, a forklift includes a door frame connected to a fork to lift heavy objects. Lifting mechanisms usually include chains. The chain can be fastened to the door frame with a u-clamp. Further, the chain needs regular maintenance, including cleaning and lubrication. The use of belts in lifting applications is well known, such as in elevators. It is known that the belt tongs are used to secure the end of the belt to the pulley or the anchor. The belt clamp comprises a plate extending through the belt and a bolt extending through the plate and the belt. Representative of the patent is the United States patent US4185791 (1980), it exposes a avoid belt is from the tractor to pull out the equipment, which include the belt clamp holder and base component, it has close to the surface of the interval, the qualified out of a gap, belt through the gap, and the belt from the forward into a clearance Angle to leave the base component. The retainer receives a belt clamp with a retainer surface that protrudes slightly from the retainer surface and partially defines the clearance. The retainer pivots on the base member and the belt clamp and retainer are spring-loaded around the pivot axis to keep the belt clamp away from the belt. A sudden force that jerks the traction belt forward through the gap causes the retainer to pivot or sway backward, thereby engaging the grasping surface of the belt tongs with the belt. The belt clamp is clamped tightly against the belt and prevents it from being pulled forward. It was previously unknown that the belt could be easily modified and used directly in chain applications or similar applications of forklift door frames. What is needed is a belt clamp having a member containing a recess for containing a belt wound around a fork pin and a fastener for clamping the first and second members.
