Patent number: 4405555Abstract: A process is provided for vulcanizing a vulcanizable endless belt which is substantially V-shaped in cross-section, substantially uniformly, by heating the belt through its minor base and converging sides and then cooling the belt from its minor base and converging sides more rapidly than cooling of the major base. An apparatus for practicing the process has a drum and a substantially concentric jacket in spaced relation about the drum. An annular inflatable diaphram is disposed in the space between the drum and jacket. A belt to be vulcanized is placed in an annular groove in the drum, the diaphram is inflated to press the belt in the groove against the surfaces thereof. The surfaces of the groove facing the minor base and the converging sides are heated while the major base is flush with the surface of the drum and is not heated.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1981Date of Patent: September 20, 1983Assignee: Industrie Pirelli S.p.A.Inventors: Paolo Egidi, Fulvio Franchino

Patent number: 4371288Abstract: A liner adapted to be installed against an earth surface bordering a cavity such as a cave or a hole in the ground to prevent flow of fluid into and from the surrounding earth. The liner is a flexible, inextensible, fluid impervious material which is a wall of a closed hollow member adapted to be inflated after installation in the cavity to expand it with a fluid under pressure until its wall presses against the earth wall about the cavity. A non-woven fabric layer between the earth and flexible inextensible wall facilitates sliding of the wall over the earth surface. The clamps have spaced elongated cylindrical members such as tubes disposed along the cavity wall and secured to the earth wall with base members having one end embedded in the earth and an opposite end fixed to the tube. An arcuate shaped clamping member is associated with the tube to form a jaw for clamping the liner between the tube and arcuate shaped member.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1980Date of Patent: February 1, 1983Assignee: Industrie Pirelli S.p.A.Inventors: Bruno Borca, Emilio Ruscelli

Patent number: 4371363Abstract: An endless flexible, elastomeric or plastic power transmission belt has a series of outwardly projecting, longitudinally spaced teeth having bases integral with the belt body and an opposite free end for meshing with teeth of a pulley. The free end of each tooth is smaller in longitudinal dimension than the base and the surfaces facing adjacent teeth of the series are curved outwardly toward the adjacent teeth. The curvature is defined by the trigonometric tangent of the angles between a straight line tangent to the curvature and a straight line parallel to the base. The trigonometric tangent increases linearly from the free end of the tooth towards the base according to a constant coefficient that is a function of the mechanical characteristics of the material from which the belt is made and the dimensions of the tooth.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1980Date of Patent: February 1, 1983Assignee: Industrie Pirelli S.p.A.Inventors: Mario Cicognani, Giorgio Tangorra, Gianfranco Cimatti
