Abstract: A conveyor belt for a tubular conveying device is formed of rubber or plastic material with rubber-like characteristics. The conveyor belt has embedded therein reinforcement layers of fabric and wire cable. The conveyor belt is guided within the conveying device such that the conveyor belt in its longitudinal direction forms an oval tube. In the transverse direction the conveyor belt includes a center section, a first and a second end section with intermediate sections being arranged between the center section and the respective end sections. The intermediate sections have a transverse bending resistance that is smaller than a bending resistance of the center section and, when the oval tube is formed, the end sections form an overlap portion having a bending resistance that is greater than the bending resistance of the intermediate sections.

Abstract: A conveyor belt of elastomeric material, especially natural and synthetic rubber material, with thread-shaped strength members extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt and being located in parallel spaced relationship to each other while being embedded in the elastomeric material of the belt, the strength members being in the form of wires united to each other by a single twist.

Abstract: A connection for the ends of strength carriers in conveyor belts of synthetic material or rubber. The ends of the strength carriers in the form of strands or cables are inserted or clamped into casings or sleeves which are connected to each other in pairs in the manner of a hinge with a sleeve section containing the end of a cable.
