The present disclosure relates to a belt as a continuous tension means for conveyor belts including a fabric layer and a first and a second belt end interconnected via a belt connector, the belt connector comprising a first exterior end and second exterior end connected or connectable there to lying opposite one another in a longitudinal direction at the belt connector, where the first exterior end of the belt connector is connected to the first belt end and the second exterior end of the belt connector to the second belt end.

The present disclosure provides that between the respective exterior end of the belt connector and the respective belt end of the belt in each case a seam connection is formed, where in each case a thread penetrates both the respective exterior end and the respective belt end in multiple stitches.

A method for pulling a modular conveyor belt and a belt puller for performing the method. The belt puller has eyelets on one end that interleave with hinge elements on an end of a modular conveyor belt. A rod through the eyelets and the hinge elements connects the belt to the puller, which can then be used to pull the belt. Two ends of an unconnected belt can be pulled together by connecting a belt puller to each end, joining the belt pullers with a ratchet strap or other pulling tool, and tightening the strap to pull the ends together.

A belt or belt segment has a plurality of reinforcement members which run in the longitudinal direction (X) and are arranged parallel to one another and which are embedded at least substantially into an elastomer main body. The belt or belt segment has at least one connection element which is arranged on an open end The ends of the reinforcement members are each at least substantially exposed by and/or left free of the elastomer main body. The ends of the reinforcement members are each connected in a force-fitting manner to at least one clamping element. The clamping elements are held in a form-fitting manner in a connection section (A) by the connection element. The belt or the belt segment has at least one extension element which directly adjoins the connection section (A) in the longitudinal direction (X) and which at least sectionally forms an extension section (B) of the connection element in the longitudinal direction (X). The reinforcement members are received in the extension section (B) by the extension element and are guided at least sectionally in a rectilinear manner in the longitudinal direction (X).
