A draper for a cutter bar of a harvesting header comprising: a band of flexible material arranged to be wrapped around guide rollers so as to define a top strand of the draper on top of the rollers and a bottom strand of the draper below the rollers and so as to define an outer surface of the draper which faces outwardly of the loop that the outer surface forms the upper surface of the top strand and the lower surface of the bottom strand and an opposed inner surface of the draper which faces inwardly of the loop; the draper including a base layer of a sheet material having a front edge of the base layer defining the front edge of the draper and a rear edge of the base layer defining a rear edge of the draper; the draper including an additional strip of a resilient material attached on to the outer surface of the base layer at or adjacent the front edge of the base layer so as to stand outwardly from the outer surface of the base layer and extending rearwardly from the front edge of the base layer to a rear edge of the additional strip spaced rearwardly of the front edge of the base layer and forwardly of the rear edge of the base layer; the draper being characterised in that the additional strip stands outwardly of the outer surface from the base layer to define an outer surface of the additional strip raised from the base layer; the band including a coupling of a first end of the band to a second end of the band to form a continuous loop; the coupling comprises a first end edge at the first end which is turned so as to stand upwardly from the band, a second end edge at the second end which is turned so as to stand upwardly from the band and a clamping assembly for clamping the upwardly standing edges together; the first and second end edges (91A, 92A) and the clamping assembly extend across the band to a front end at or rearward of the rear edge of the additional strip; the additional strip at the first end edge being recessed to define a first recessed portion thereof at the first end edge which is recessed from the outer surface of the additional strip; the additional strip at the second end edge are recessed to define a second recessed portion thereof at the second end edge which is recessed from the outer surface of the additional strip; and a connecting strip portion formed of a flexible continuous strip material extends longitudinally of the additional strip and connecting the first recessed portion to the second recessed portion. a band of flexible material arranged to be wrapped around guide rollers so as to define a top strand of the draper on top of the rollers and a bottom strand of the draper below the rollers and so as to define an outer surface of the draper which faces outwardly of the loop that the outer surface forms the upper surface of the top strand and the lower surface of the bottom strand and an opposed inner surface of the draper which faces inwardly of the loop; the draper including a base layer of a sheet material having a front edge of the base layer defining the front edge of the draper and a rear edge of the base layer defining a rear edge of the draper; the draper including an additional strip of a resilient material attached on to the outer surface of the base layer at or adjacent the front edge of the base layer so as to stand outwardly from the outer surface of the base layer and extending rearwardly from the front edge of the base layer to a rear edge of the additional strip spaced rearwardly of the front edge of the base layer and forwardly of the rear edge of the base layer; the draper being characterised in that the additional strip stands outwardly of the outer surface from the base layer to define an outer surface of the additional strip raised from the base layer; the band including a coupling of a first end of the band to a second end of the band to form a continuous loop; the coupling comprises a first end edge at the first end which is turned so as to stand upwardly from the band, a second end edge at the second end which is turned so as to stand upwardly from the band and a clamping assembly for clamping the upwardly standing edges together; the first and second end edges (91A, 92A) and the clamping assembly extend across the band to a front end at or rearward of the rear edge of the additional strip; the additional strip at the first end edge being recessed to define a first recessed portion thereof at the first end edge which is recessed from the outer surface of the additional strip; the additional strip at the second end edge are recessed to define a second recessed portion thereof at the second end edge which is recessed from the outer surface of the additional strip; and a connecting strip portion formed of a flexible continuous strip material extends longitudinally of the additional strip and connecting the first recessed portion to the second recessed portion.
