What is claimed is: 1. A caterpillar or track-laying band chain (1) for tracked vehicles and snowmobiles, comprising two individual, exchangeable band segments (15), in which each said band segment (15) has a rubber basic body (2), including inserts (5) which are vulcanized in said basic body and are loadable under tension, said inserts (5) being each wrapped around a respective tie-rod (6) which is fastened transversely in the basic body (2) in the region of attachment areas (3, 4) of the band segments (15), connectors (10) which connect the tie-rods (6) of said two band segments (15, 27) to one another, each of said tie-rods comprising a tube (6), each said tube (6) including a rubber-mounted bolt (20, 21), the bolts (20, 21) being rotationally fixed by said connectors (10), the attachment areas (3, 4) each consisting of two said tubes (6), including rubber mountings (18) for said bolts, the bolts (20) and the connectors (10) lying within one chain pitch (31) and being of a flexible construction produced by the rubber mountings (18). 2. The caterpillar band chain as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pitch (29) of the attachment areas (3, 4) is approximately 30% of the pitch (31) of each said band segment (15, 27). 3. The caterpillar band chain as claimed in claim 1, wherein said tubes (6) each consist of steel, at least one said tube (6) is vulcanized at the attachment area (3, 4) on each said band segment (15, 27). 4. The caterpillar band chain as claimed in claim 3, wherein said steel tubes (6, 7) are vulcanized at the respective attachment areas (3, 4).
