  • Patent number: 8241452
    Abstract: A reinforcement fibrous cord having excellent adhesive strength produced by impregnating a meshed cord fabric formed from warp yarns for reinforcement cords and weft yarns having a softening temperature or a melting temperature lower than any of the softening temperature, the melting temperature and the thermal decomposition-initiating temperature of the warp yarns, with adhesive agent, and heat-treating the fabric at the temperature equal to or higher than the softening or melting temperature of the weft yarn and lower than any of the softening temperature, the melting temperature and the thermal decomposition-initiating temperature of the warp yarns so that the weft yarns are self-broken while being fuse-adhered to the adhesive agent-impregnated warp yarns whereby projections caused by the broken residues of the weft yarns are formed on the warp yarns.

  • Publication number: 20090197726
    Abstract: The canvas of the present invention for forming a rough surface of toothed belt is formed from warp yarns which are formed from composite yarns each comprising a core yarn comprising, as a principal component, half-drawn synthetic fiber yarns having an elongation at break of 50 to 200% and a covering yarn wound around the core yarn, comprising, as a principal component, high mechanical strength, high treat resistant fibers and preferably twisted at a twist number of 300 to 4000 turns/m, and weft yarns; and has a capability of being easily produced by meaning, uniform appearance and yarn distribution and excellent abrasion resistance.
