  • Patent number: 11192722
    Abstract: The invention relates to a belt (1) as a continuous traction means, in particular for conveyor belts of agricultural machines, in particular baling presses, comprising at least one fabric layer (2) embedded, at least in certain regions, in a polymer layer (3), in particular rubber layer, whereby end regions (1a, 1b) of the belt (1) lie flat on top of one another in an overlap region (4) and are connected to each other for creating a continuous belt (1) reinforced by the fabric layer (2).

  • Patent number: 10183807
    Abstract: Cam belt, particularly for agricultural machinery, produced from a polymer provided with reinforcement inserts, has cams on the inner side of the cam belt that are used to drive cam belt. A first flank faces in the running direction of cam belt and a second flank faces in opposite direction. Cams are spaced apart from one another by gaps in a predefined division, and gaps are delimited by first flank and second flank of two adjoining cams and a base which connects two flanks. During operation of cam belt carrier of a cam wheel resting against second flank of one of adjoining cams and against the base of a gap engage with the gaps. On outer side of belt, functional elements are fixed by a fastener which from inner side of the belt passes through the cam belt and the functional elements via at least one through hole.

  • Patent number: 9896274
    Abstract: A support roller or drive roller for a drive belt of a conveyor, having a hub which is supported by use of ball bearings and which is provided with an elastic polymer layer on its outer periphery as a running surface for the drive belt. The roller is easily manufactured as the hub is made up of a hollow cylindrical outer hub which bears the polymer layer, and a hollow cylindrical inner hub which accommodates the ball bearings. Further, the inner hub is pushed into the outer hub and joined to the outer hub in a rotationally fixed manner.

  • Publication number: 20170023101
    Abstract: A belt as an endless traction device for conveyor belts of agricultural machines, the belt being made of a polymer that is reinforced by fabric plies. Endless belt provides a conveyor belt of this type which has high static and dynamic strength at the connecting point, combined with great bending flexibility. This is achieved in that at least one fabric ply of each belt end, folded back on itself, wraps around a thickened area and extends between the thickened area and a stop, which forms an abutment with respect to the thickened area, in such a way that the fabric ply is jammed between the thickened area and the stop when tension acts on the belt in the reverse direction.

  • Publication number: 20050271040
    Abstract: A content resource manager (CRM) in a home area network is configured to determine if a conflict exists between current use of a media pipeline and a requested use of the media pipeline. If a conflict exists, the CRM requests the user to indicate if a current use of a media pipeline should be discontinued and the desired program retrieved. The CRM may provide the user with a plurality of media pipelines to select from to override over which the desired program may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20050166258
    Abstract: A centralized Digital Video Recording (DVR) and reproduction system (100) linking several reproduction and control units (such as television receivers (124, 128, 132), etc.) to a centralized media server (152) allows system users (124, 128, 132) to not only access the same program or programs from different receivers (106, 110), but to pause and resume the same programs from the same marker points (“bookmarks”) established by any system user (124, 128, 132). The program “bookmark” representing the program pause point is conveniently shown via a graphical user interface display with a bookmark icon, including the name of the user (124, 128, 132) who established the bookmark and the exact pause point in the program.
