  • Patent number: 5624338
    Abstract: A double V-ribbed belt having a body with an inside, an outside, a length, and laterally spaced sides. At least a first rib is exposed on the inside of the body and extends in a lengthwise direction. At least a second rib is exposed on the outside of the body and extends in a lengthwise direction. A substantially inextensible layer resides between the first and second ribs. Laterally extending reinforcing fibers are provided in the body on at least one of the inside and outside of the inextensible layer, with the concentration of reinforcing fibers on the inside of the inextensible layer being different than the concentration of reinforcing fibers on the outside of the inextensible layer.

  • Patent number: 5427637
    Abstract: A method of forming a power transmission belt including the steps of: providing a belt sleeve defining an axis and having a rubber layer with elongate fibers embedded therein and extending generally parallel to each other in a first line; rotating the belt about its axis; providing a grinding element for cutting the rubber layer and fibers to define ribs with oppositely facing flanks; and urging the rotating belt sleeve and grinding element, one against the other in first and second steps and, as an incident thereof, causing the grinding element to define the oppositely facing flanks. The belt sleeve and grinding element are urged one against the other transversely of the first line at a first speed during the first step and at a second speed different than the first speed during the second step.
