Abstract: An inclined conveyor for a combine harvester has two drive elements which define a conveying direction and revolve in a conveying duct. Conveying duct is divided into an overshot return duct and an undershot conveying duct by a separating element situated between the upper run and the lower run of the drive element. Drive element is interconnected by carriers situated transversely with respect to conveying direction that convey harvested crop in undershot conveying duct. The difference in speed between the carrier bars and harvested crop stream is eliminated, and at least reduced, by additional acceleration of harvested crop stream. Carrier bars serve as carriers, and as acceleration elements for the harvested crop. That is because the cross section of each of the carrier bars viewed in conveying direction, occupies at least 30% of the smallest internal cross section of undershot conveying duct.

This is achieved by providing that at least one additional rod is fixedly connected to the at least one rod which is connected to the belts, and the at least one additional rod is free of contact with the belts.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plastic bowling pin that has a porous core and a resilient envelope includes the step of blow-forming the envelope in a blowing mold and removing the envelope from the blowing mold. The envelope is then cooled to a temperature of 60.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. A core plastic material containing an exothermic agent is then injected into the envelope for forming the core. The core plastic material is heated to a temperature of 200.degree. C. to 260.degree. C. The inner layer of the envelope is thus fused to the plastic material of the core to provide an intimate connection between the envelope and the core.
