A rubber screen for a vibratory screening apparatus comprises a plurality of first parallel rope members having suitable cross sectional shapes and arranged in a particle flowing direction, each of said first rope members having a tensile member composed of a strand of filament having a high elongation at break and an organic material having flexibility and/or elasticity and covering the tensile member, and a plurality of second parallel rope members having suitable cross sectional shapes and arranged in a direction normal to the first rope members, each of the second rope members having a tensile member of a material having a low elongation at break and an organic material having flexibility and/or elasticity and covering the tensile member, each point of intersection between the first and second rope members being suitably bonded.
