Patent ID: 11192722

Abstract:
The invention relates to a belt (1) as a continuous traction means, in particular for conveyor belts of agricultural machines, in particular baling presses, comprising at least one fabric layer (2) embedded, at least in certain regions, in a polymer layer (3), in particular rubber layer, whereby end regions (1a, 1b) of the belt (1) lie flat on top of one another in an overlap region (4) and are connected to each other for creating a continuous belt (1) reinforced by the fabric layer (2).According to the invention, it is provided that the end regions (1a, 1b) of the belt (1) are connected to each other by at least one thread (7) forming a seam (9), whereby, to that end, said at least one thread (7) penetrates the end regions (1a, 1b) of the belt (1) in a seam region (6) in several stitches (8), whereby the fabric layer (2) of the belt (1) is embedded in the polymer layer (3) at least across said seam region (6), and the thread (7) is embedded in transition regions (20) between the stitches (8) into the polymer layer (3) in such a manner shallowly at a depth of penetration (T) that the thread (7) runs below surfaces (10a, 10b) of the belt (1).
