Abstract

Side by side pairs of flexible rubber belts having molded driving lugs on the bottom surface and at least one row of molded cleats with a bore in each cleat on the top surface. The belts are transversely spaced apart with many transverse connecting links positioned in the cleat bores extending between the belts to form a conveying assembly. The conveying assembly is useful in drag or raddle chain conveyors in combines or in round balers to form and compress the large bales.
