Abstract

Belt piece, of the type which can be closed as a loop and usable for the transport of articles and/or for power transmissions, which comprises a central body (80) and two restrainable ends (2), (3), which: extend in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the belt piece (1); have transverse dimensions smaller than the ones of the central body (80); and at longitudinal sides (81), (82) have complementary coupling profiles (4), (5) comprising a plurality of first (6) and second portions (7). These portions are arranged in mutual contact when the ends (2), (3) are coupled and press the one against the other in case a longitudinal traction effort is applied to the belt piece (1), closed as a loop, to prevent the ends (2, 3) from sliding in longitudinal direction. It is further disclosed a method for obtaining a closed looped belt which uses a belt piece (1), comprising the steps of: approaching the ends (2), (3) according to a direction orthogonal to the extension one of the belt piece (1), until they are restrained; and fixing the ends (2), (3) with respect to each other by means of melting thermoplastic material or by applying small blocks.
