Abstract: A method of curing large endless track rubber belts uses a multi-platen mold assembly with a pair of fully supporting indexing wheels, non-preformed lug preparation and a post-forming cavity pressure reduction to provide cured tracks with non-deformed reinforcing members while avoiding the extrusion of rubber compound out of the ends of the molds. Also provided is an apparatus for curing large endless track belts having fully supported indexing wheels.
Abstract: A method of making a reinforcing fabric having wide angles between the warp yarns and the weft yarns by helically folding on itself a strip of fabric which has been skewed such that the angle .alpha. between the warp yarns and the weft yarns is from 100.degree. to 140.degree..
Abstract: An antigel agent composed of four types of antioxidants that allows polyamides to be blended with acrylonitrile/butadiene polymers with minimum generation of gels and yields a blend which can be extruded or sheeted to give a uniformed shaped product, for example, sheets and molded articles and is essentially free of plugging the screens of extruder used to extrude hose tube or sheet.

Abstract: A chopped textile reinforced shock absorber is made by chopping unvulcanized elastomer coated texile into lengths of about 0.25 of an inch (0.63 cm) to about 3.0 inches (7.62 cm) and preferably 1 to 5 cm and shaping the chopped unvulcanized elastomer coated textile into a thickness, width and length to function as a shock absorber when cured.
