Abstract
The belt connector of the present invention comprises an elongated shank having two J-hooks at its opposite ends. Each J-hook is performed to make an elongated slot which is approximately one half the width of the diameter of the loop member which forms the loops at the ends of the connectible belt. When the loops are forced into the slots of the J-hooks of the connector, they are compressed to form an oval shape which resists movement or turning within the slot.
