ABSTRACT

A dedicated access assembly for a conveyor belt forms a dedicated opening and
closing point for the conveyor belt. The dedicated access assembly includes a
female portion having one or more open hooks and a male portion including a
hinge rod extending between linking elements. The open hook disengages from
and engages the hinge rod to selectively open and close the conveyor belt. A
latching mechanism can selectively lock the dedicated access assembly.
