Abstract: A conveyor belt for a conveying device has pull-resistant, flexible belt loops extending in a direction of movement of the conveyor belt. Rods having opposed, flat ends are provided with bores. The rods extend perpendicularly to the belt loops and rest with the opposed flat ends on the belt loops. Fasteners for securing the flat ends to the belt loops by penetrating the bores of the flat ends and the belt loops are provided. The flat ends have a leading edge and a following edge in the direction of movement. The leading and the following edges have rounded projections in the area of the bores.
