A connection for the ends of the supporting straps of an endless bar belt conveyor, especially for agricultural machines, the bars of which are connected to the supporting straps by connecting members such as rivets and screws. Within the region of the two ends of each supporting strap there is provided a connecting member which engages the inner side of the respective adjacent supporting strap and is connected to the supporting strap by means of connecting elements such as rivets or preferably screws. The connecting member comprises a pull-resistant flexible layer which extends in the longitudinal direction of the supporting strap and has a thickness less than the thickness of the supporting straps.
