A draper is disclosed. The draper includes a frame with a center segment that has at least one endlessly circulating center belt and two side segments each having at least one laterally conveying, endlessly circulating side belt. The draper further includes a flexible cutter bar which is arranged on support arms pivotably articulated on the frame, with the side belts following movement of the flexible cutter bar. A respective side belt has, in the crop intake area adjacent to the cutter bar, a circumferential limiting rib which is overlapped by a belt seal extending substantially over the width of the side segment. The belt seal may be attached to the cutter bar using segmented retaining elements, with the retaining elements exerts a compressive force on the belt seal to press it against the limiting rib.
