A transport or drive belt includes: warp threads extending in a longitudinal direction; and weft threads extending between side edges. The weft threads and the warp threads cross each other at least sectionally with a positive inclination or a negative inclination deviating from a right angle. The weft threads follow a wavy course.

The present invention relates to belts useful in the manufacture of paper products, such as tissue paper. Particularly this invention relates to a belt used in a through-air drying process for making tissue products, and more particularly to an additively manufactured belt having a particular pattern thereon which imparts properties to tissue products manufactured therewith.

The present invention relates to a belt for a conveyor. The belt comprises at least one perforated area (24), the belt (14) having openings (28) in the or each perforated area (24) so that the belt is permeable to air in the perforated area (24).

A conveyor belt system includes a conveyor belt and a sensor assembly integrated in the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes a plurality of wickets, and a plurality of interconnecting rods about which the wickets hinge. The sensor assembly includes a load-bearing member and a sensor fitted in the load-bearing member. The load-bearing member is coupled to two adjacent rods such that a belt tension is sustained between the adjacent rods. A method of using a conveyor belt system include pinging the sensor assembly using a reader with an antenna positioned on a conveyor frame, collecting a signal from the sensor assembly using the reader, and processing the collected data to determine a history of belt tension and to estimate overall belt elongation.

A feederhouse for a combine harvester comprises an endless conveyor having at least two traction means made of inherently flexible material circulating about the deflection rollers and offset from one another in the axial direction of the deflection rollers, between which conveying strips extend. The inner sides of the traction conveying strips are furnished with cams made of inherently flexible material. Anchor plates are embedded in each of the cams. A first fastener having a first head recessed within the individual cam extends through individual cams, through individual anchor plates and through individual conveying strips. The anchor plate comprises two non-circular openings, wherein the first fastener and the second fastener each have non-cylindrical outer circumferential surfaces received within the non-circular openings to inhibit rotation of each of the first fastener and the second fastener relative to the anchor plate.

A conveyor belt configured for a direction of travel, the conveyor belt including a plurality of connecting rods; and a spiral overlay; wherein each of the connecting rods has a flattened oblong cross section. In addition, a method a manufacturing a connector rod for a conveyor, belt includes providing a connector rod having a circular cross section; rolling the connector rod along a longitudinal axis thereof, and thereby producing a flattened oblong cross section.
