Splice joint for plastic coated fabric conveyor belt or similar article which initially provides a mechanical bond between the two (2) conveyor belt ends to be joined prior to a vulcanization process. This is achieved by providing a "jig-saw puzzle" splice between the two (2) conveyor belt ends to be joined wherein at least one of the conveyor belt ends to be joined has outwardly extending mushroom shaped or arrow-head shaped tabs and the other conveyor belt end to be joined has corresponding inwardly extending sockets to provide both increased splice joint surface area, as well as a mechanical bond, between the two (2) conveyor belt ends to be joined.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A continuous spliced conveyor belt, comprising a length of conveyor belt material having a first end and a second end, said length of conveyor belt material includes at least one pair of adjacent conveyor belt drive holes, the first hole of said at least one pair of adjacent conveyor belt drive holes being offset in a direction which is transverse to the length of the conveyor belt material from the second hole of said at least one pair of adjacent conveyor belt drive holes, each hole of said at least one pair of adjacent conveyor drive belt holes having a front, back, first side and second side, the front and back of a hole being oriented in a direction parallel to the length of the conveyor belt, and said first end of said conveyor belt material and said second end of said conveyor belt material are joined together to form a splice joint, said splice joint being continuous and positioned in front of the first hole of said at least one pair of adjacent conveyor belt drive holes, extending between sides of both holes of said at least one pair of adjacent conveyor belt drive holes, and being positioned behind the second hole of said at least one pair of adjacent conveyor belt drive holes.
