A traction belt (2) for an inclined conveyor (12) of a combine harvester (1), with a traction belt body (20) which extends substantially in the longitudinal direction (X) of the belt (2) and is endlessly closed or designed to be endlessly closable. The traction belt (2) has at least one tension strand (22) which runs in the longitudinal direction (X) is embedded in the traction belt body (20) and is enclosed by the traction belt body (20).

The present invention relates to conveyors, comprising at least one circulating conveyor strand (7, 8), wherein the conveyor strand has at least one clamping connection (1), wherein at least one sensor (2) is arranged in the clamping connection (1), a transmitter (3) for wirelessly transmitting data is arranged on the conveyor strand (7, 8), the sensor (2) is connected with the transmitter (3), and a receiver (4) for receiving the data transmitted by the transmitter (3) is provided.

The subject disclosure includes structure for easily and reliably connecting and disconnecting first and second ends of an agricultural harvester draper belt. A unitary hairpin connecting bar enables connection of adjacent flanges of the first and second ends of the draper belt. A plurality of connecting bar pairs provide connection of adjacent flanges of the first and second ends of the draper belt when the flanges are arranged in an angled, stepped or staggered pattern. A flexible connecting bar pair provides connection to flanges at the first and second ends of the draper belt that extend at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the leading edge of the draper belt.

The present invention concerns a traction means (2), preferably a belt (2), for an inclined conveyor (12) of a combine harvester (1), with a traction means body (20) which extends substantially in the longitudinal direction (X) of the belt (2) and is endlessly closed or designed to be endlessly closable. The traction means (2) is characterized in that at least one tension strand (22) which runs in the longitudinal direction (X) is embedded in the traction means body (20) and is enclosed by the traction means body (20).

Belts having a cover layer and opposing continuous tooth section defining an outer surface, a cross-linked elastomeric body, and a tensile reinforcement section disposed between the cover layer and the cross-linked elastomeric body. The continuous tooth section includes a plurality of tooth structures, each having tooth flank, a land, and an easement area between the tooth flank and the land, and the easement area has a progressively decreasing radial thickness from the tooth flank to the land. In some aspects, the easement area has a low pressure-angle of contact with a sprocket, when engaging a sprocket. In some aspects, the belt is an endless belt, while in some other aspects, the belt is a spliced belt having a splice.
