A belt lock for a belt for an agricultural implement is provided. The belt lock comprises two connecting pieces which may be connected via a lock pin. The two connecting pieces each have an upper part and a lower part which are configured integrally with a hinge region, forming a receiver for the lock pin and for at least partially arranging one respective belt end between one another. The upper and lower part in each case have at least one recess for arranging fastening means. Each of the upper and lower parts have a belt adapter which is arranged on the respective connecting piece, the respective belt end being able to be releasably connected thereby to the respective connecting piece.

The invention relates to a rod belt for rod belt conveyors, in particular of agricultural machines, with transverse rods (4) arranged transverse to a running direction and parallel to one another, whereby the transverse rods (4) rest on tension-proof elastic and continuous belts (3) running parallel to one another and being attached to the belts (3) by attachment at a pre-determined rod spacing. According to the invention, it is provided that on at least one of the belts (3) a belt clip (5) is affixed via attachment (6), whereby said so attached belt clip (5) confines at least one cavity on a support surface of the respective belt (3) and at least one of the transverse rods (4) is cage-like housed in the at least one cavity in such a manner that the at least one transverse rod (4) is fixated via the belt clip (5) to the at least one belt such a manner that the at least one transverse rod (4) is fixated via the belt clip (5) to the at least one belt.

A conveying device is provided for an upwardly oriented, in particular vertical, conveyance of turnips or other root crops in harvesting machines. A conveyor belt with at least two lateral conveyor belt portions is moved in a conveying direction during operation. Between the conveyor belt portions is defined a particularly planar conveyor belt surface, and at least one carrier unit which projects from the conveyor belt surface and is supported by the conveyor belt. The carrier unit delimits a receiving space extending on both sides of the conveyor belt surface. The part of the receiving space which is arranged on the side of the conveyor belt surface which is opposite the carrier unit is formed by at least one detachably fastened pocket module and harvesting machines for turnips or other root crops having a conveying device.

The power transmitting system includes first rollers, second rollers, and power transmitting bands. The power transmitting bands are configured to each transmit power between each of the first rollers and the second rollers. The feederhouse conveyor system also includes rigid cross members, configured to each attach near each end to at least one of the power transmitting bands, and flexible cross members configured to each attach near each end to at least one of the power transmitting bands. The centerlines which extend through the rigid cross members and the flexible cross members are parallel. The mat attaches to the flexible cross members by a pocket in the mat through which the flexible cross members extend.

A pick-up web for an agricultural machine, in particular, for picking up and transporting nut fruit in a nut harvester along a conveyor device. The pick-up web comprising at least two endless circulating belts for driving the pick-up web and several rods extending perpendicular to the direction of transport of the pick-up web creating a sieve-type transport surface. The pick-up web further comprising several tappets and sweeping teeth each projecting perpendicularly away from the sieve-type transport surface.

Universal belted chain including a first belt, a second belt, a first rod, a first fastener and a second fastener. The first belt has a first upper surface and a first lower surface. The first lower surface has a first channel formed therein. The second belt has a second upper surface and a second lower surface. The second lower surface has a second channel formed therein. The first fastener attaches the first rod to the first upper surface by extending the first fastener through the first belt. An end of the first fastener opposite the first rod is recessed in the first channel with respect to the first lower surface. The second fastener attaches the first rod to the second upper surface by extending the second fastener through the second belt. An end of the second fastener opposite the first rod is recessed in the second channel with respect to the second lower surface.

Disclosed herein is a ring elevator for lifting root crops in a root crop harvester, including a first and a second pair of endless carrying strips, each pair arranged in parallel and drivable over a closed path; first and second parallel transverse elements attached between and to, respectively, the first and second strips; flexible support elements, each attached to a first transverse element and to a second transverse element. The first strips can be arranged around the second strips at a distance which varies along the paths between a minimum distance (d.sub.min) and a maximum distance (d.sub.max), and in an ascending part equals a carrier distance (c), such that the flexible support elements form baskets for receiving the root crops. The useful volume (V.sub.u) in the baskets takes up at least 50% of the total volume (V.sub.t) delimited by the transverse elements.
