Abstract:
An exemplary method of making a woven fabric (20A, 20B) includes weaving a plurality of load supporting tension members (22A, 22B) and a plurality of cross fibers (24) together into a woven fabric (20A, 20B). Two woven fabrics (20A, 20B) are positioned next to each other. The two woven fabrics (20A, 20B) include a spacing between adjacent tension members (22A, 22B) having a first dimension. At least one tension member (22A) of one woven fabric (20A) is aligned with and between two of the tension members (22B) of the other woven fabric (20B) to thereby decrease the spacing to a second, smaller dimension.
Abstract:
A warp-directional stretch fabric that defines two right faces and is formed from warp yarns defined by a nylon and fill yarns defined by an aramid. The fabric can be incorporated into a toothed belt, for example a transmission belt, to produce a belt that has enhanced structural and resistance capabilities while capable of being produced at a lower cost than prior art belts. A method of producing an improved toothed belt including the fabric is also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a belt comprising a warp yarn and a weft yarn, wherein the belt comprises a fused region along each longitudinal edge of the belt, said fused region being formed from the warp yarn, the weft yarn and a yarn provided for fusing the warp yarn and the weft yarn together.

Abstract:
A fabric for reinforcing a power transmission belt including fibers of polyarylene sulfide and a belt utilizing the fabric. The fabric may have textured or elastic core wrapped stretch yarns in the longitudinal direction. Longitudinal yarns may include PPS and textured transverse yarns include nylon. Yarns may include blends of high performance fibers and nylon or other fibers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cover fabric for power transmission belt, which covers at least a part of working surface of a power transmission belt coming into contact or engage with a pulley and thereby transmitting power, in which the cover fabric contains a yarn, the yarn contains at least a fluorine-based fiber, and the fluorine-based fiber is formed of at least one slit yarn, and the cover fabric is subjected to an adhesion treatment.
