A fastening system for joining two ends of a conveyor belt (200) segment includes an inhibiting surface (252) for controlling movement of the ends relative to each other. The inhibiting surface is offset from an inner surface of a conveyor belt segment employing the fastening system and engages a surface of a corresponding conveyor belt segment to reduce tenting of the conveyor belt segment ends. L'invention concerne un système de fixation pour assembler deux extrémités d'un segment de courroie transporteuse (200) qui comprend une surface inhibante (252) pour contrôler le mouvement des extrémités l'une par rapport à l'autre. La surface inhibante est décalée par rapport à la surface intérieure d'un segment de courroie transporteuse employant le système de fixation et entre en prise avec une surface d'un segment de courroie transporteuse correspondant pour réduire le soulèvement en tente des extrémités du segment de courroie transporteuse.
