Abstract:
The present invention relates to a rod belt for rod belt conveyors of agricultural machines comprising rods ( 5 ) arranged transverse to the direction of transport and parallel to each other, the rods ( 5 ) comprising flattened and perforated attachment areas ( 5.1 ) by means of which they lie in contact with elastic belts ( 2 ) of high tensile strength revolving parallel to each other and being connected to the belts ( 2 ) via rivets or similar attachment means penetrating the attachment area ( 5.1 ) and the belt ( 2 ), both ends ( 9 ) of which belt constituting a joint ( 8 ). It is the object of the invention to provide a rod belt of this type having an endless connection of high stability while, at the same time, being easy to disassemble and mount. This task is solved according to the invention in that an auxiliary belt section ( 7 ) each is arranged laterally adjacent to the belts ( 2 ), the auxiliary belt section bridges the joint ( 8 ) between the belt ends ( 9 ) whereby the belts ( 2 ) and the auxiliary belt sections ( 7 ) are interlocked by means of the rods ( 5 ).

Claim (Index 1):
Rod belt for rod belt conveyors of agricultural machines comprising rods ( 5 ) arranged transverse to the direction of transport and parallel to each other, said rods ( 5 ) comprising flattened and perforated attachment areas ( 5 . 1 ) by means of which they lie in contact with elastic belts ( 2 ) of high tensile strength revolving parallel to each other and being connected to said belts ( 2 ) via rivets or similar attachment means penetrating said attachment area ( 5 . 1 ) and said belt ( 2 ), both ends ( 9 ) of which belt constituting a joint ( 8 ), wherein an auxiliary belt section ( 7 ) each is arranged laterally adjacent to said belts ( 2 ), said auxiliary belt section bridges said joint ( 8 ) between the belt ends ( 9 ) whereby said belts ( 2 ) and said auxiliary belt sections ( 7 ) are interlocked by means of said rods ( 5 ).
