Abstract
In order to protect the longitudinal edges of a link belt against damage or undue wear it is proposed to provide an edge guard comprising a multiplicity of guard elements engaged with the coils of the belt, the elements each comprising a body part for disposition adjacent the edge of the belt and a mounting element for engagement with a respective coil. The body part is preferably flexible, and the body parts of adjacent elements may partially overlie one another in providing a reinforcing wear resistant edge to the belt for protecting the ends of the coils.
