Abstract
A detachable tab for a modular belt link is provided. The detachable tab has upper and lower body portions. The upper body portion is suitable to be arranged in a modular conveyor belt module, and comprises a U-shaped section with two substantially parallel flanges that extend from a bridge member. Each flange has a distal end that terminates the flange away from the flange's connection to the bridge member. Each flange also has an inner side surface that faces the other flange and an outer side surface that faces away from the flanges. The lower body portion comprises three distinct sections: a first section that connects a second section to the bridge member of the upper body portion; a second section that projects in a direction opposite and parallel to the flanges of the upper body portion; and a third section that is arranged substantially perpendicular to the second section.
