1. A splice frame intended to be attached to at least a first end portion of a conveyor belt of a type comprising a body made of flexible material, inside of which is housed a reinforcement comprising cables, the splice frame comprising:
retaining members having at least one body configured to extend at least partially transversely with respect to the conveyor belt and anchoring members configured to engage with at least part of the cables through a thickness of the first end portion so as to secure the body of the retaining members to the first end portion of the conveyor belt,
wherein
the retaining members comprise a retention interface for retaining one or more fasteners of a splicing device intended for splicing the first end portion with a second end portion of the conveyor belt when the first and second end portions are arranged between two splicing plates of the splicing device secured together by said one or more fasteners, and
the retention interface is configured to retain the one or more fasteners when a tensile force is applied between the splicing device and the conveyor belt.
