  • Patent number: 11913521
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a power-transmitting friction belt having a compressed layer and a knitted fabric. The surface of the compressed layer is covered with the knitted fabric. The knitted fabric has an overlapping section in which one end and the other end of the knitted fabric overlap each other. The overlapping section has a bonding region containing a bonding component for bonding the end and the other end of the knitted fabric together.

  • Patent number: 11796034
    Abstract: The frictional power transmission belt includes a frictional power transmission surface formed of a composite fibrous layer containing a fibrous member, an isocyanate compound, and a resin component, wherein the fibrous member contains a cellulose-based fiber. A proportion of each of the isocyanate compound and the resin component in the composite fibrous layer may be 2 to 15% by mass.

  • Patent number: 11624421
    Abstract: Provided is a power transmission V-belt containing: a rubber layer; a cord buried in the rubber layer along the belt circumferential direction; and at least one reinforcing layer buried in the rubber layer, in which the reinforcing layer contains reinforcing fiber filaments having the same length as a belt width; and contains no fibers intersecting with the belt width direction, or contains the fibers intersecting with the belt width direction in a weight per unit area of 30% or less of the reinforcing fiber filaments, in which the reinforcing layer has a structure in which the reinforcing fiber filaments are in a non-twisted state, are oriented in the belt width direction, and are spread and bonded in a sheet shape, and in which the reinforcing layer has a thickness of 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm.
