A patch material for repairing a damaged portion of a pressing belt used on an agricultural round baler includes an operative outer polymeric layer having a first thickness, a mounting layer disposed parallel to the operative outer polymeric layer and having a second thickness being less than the first thickness, and at least one fabric layer disposed between the operative outer polymeric layer and the mounting layer. A plurality of linear outlines is defined on the operative outer polymeric layer at an operative top surface thereof. The linear outlines are configured to define a pattern with a plurality of predefined shapes. The plurality of the predefined shapes is configured to border a conical portion of a connecting opening defined on the operative top surface of the operative outer polymeric layer. The connecting opening extends the operative outer polymeric layer, the fabric layer, and the mounting layer.

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).

A connector for conveyor belts includes, installed on both sides of a conveyor belt, a pair of plates having protrusions on the inner surface thereof, which are tightened by a bolt and nut and by a removable elastic ring capable of being secured on the body of the bolt. In the present embodiment, one plate is provided with a polygonal through-hole having a mounting seat for the head of the bolt, which bolt has a securing portion below the head thereof, the securing portion corresponding to the polygonal hole, and the other plate is provided with a mounting seat for the nut, which nut is carried out with a slot on an end thereof. In certain embodiments, the bolt head is flat, the bolt shank is conical, and the nut is hexagonal. The plates may have through-holes disposed between the protrusions on the inner surfaces of the plates.
