Abstract: A metallic fabric for manufacturing a hollow body is welded at two edge areas and according to the present invention a metallic strip is welded on in the vicinity of the welded seam, whereby the width of the welded seam is narrower than the width of the metallic strip. An elastic material which flattens out vibrations of the hollow body and ensures protection of the welded seam is arranged between the metallic strip and the metallic fabric.

Abstract: Wire netting belt, more particularly for conveyors, screen belt presses or the like, which is closed at its belt ends by an insert-type join to constitute an endless belt and is strengthened in its plane in its end regions with reinforcing strips consisting of a solidifying composition, to obviate arching of the belt at its central zone in the end regions.

Abstract: A wire mesh band or belt for a conveyor having downwardly extending protuberances for engaging peripheral grooves in rollers of a conveyor system to maintain the band in proper transverse position. The protuberances are formed on guide wires woven into the band at lateral and longitudinal intervals in the weft direction. The guide wires have at least one flattened surface so that they cannot rotate about their longitudinal axis. In a second embodiment, instead of continuous guide wires, a plurality of guide wire sections may be arranged at intervals transversely across the band.

Abstract: A wire mesh band or belt with mutually crossing warp wires and weft wires for a conveyor system with grooved support rollers is provided with downwardly extending protrusions. The protrusions are warp wire free providing great flexibility for the band in the longitudinal direction. The protrusions can be formed in all the weft wires or only in selected strengthened weft wires with the remaining weft wires woven into the fabric after the protrusions are formed.
