Abstract: A power transmission belt having a body defined by rubber and having an exposed outer surface, a fiber layer on at least a part of the exposed outer surface of the body, and a mixture including a resin adhesive ingredient, a rubber ingredient, and a lubricant that is a fluorine resin powder that is applied to the fiber layer.

Abstract: A toothed belt having a body with a length, an inside surface, an outside surface, laterally spaced sides, and a plurality of teeth spaced in a lengthwise direction on the inside of the body. An elongate, load carrying cord extends lengthwise of the body and is embedded in the body. A cloth layer is provided on the inside surface of the body. The load carrying cord has a diameter that is greater than 1.1 mm and not greater than 1.5 mm and is prepared by a) bundling glass fiber filaments each having a diameter of from 5 to 10 &mgr;m into strands, b) gathering and primary twisting a plurality of stands in one twist direction to form strings, and c) gathering and final twisting the strings in a direction oppositely to the one twist direction.

Abstract: A power transmission belt having a belt body with a length, an inside, an outside, a backing layer, a plurality of longitudinally extending teeth, and a land surface between adjacent teeth facing in one of an inside and outside direction. At least one longitudinally extending cord is provided on the belt body. The distance between the land surface and the load carrying cord between the inside and outside of the belt is between 0.30 and 0.50 mm. The distance between the land surface and the center of the load carrying cord between the inside and outside of the belt is between 0.73 and 0.85 mm.

Abstract: A power transmission belt having a body with a length and inside and outside surfaces. A plurality of teeth are spaced lengthwise along the belt body and define at least a portion of one of the inside and outside surfaces of the belt body. A fabric layer with weft yarns is provided on the one of the inside and outside surfaces of the belt body. At least a portion of the weft yarns include a plurality of filaments of para-aramid fiber having a thickness of 0.3 to 1.2 denier.

Abstract: A toothed rubber belt has teeth, a rubber back and a core wire imbedded in the rubber back. The core wire has lower twists of about 10.5 to about 13.5 times/10 cm and an upper twist of about 6.5 to about 9.5 times/10 cm. Preferably, the wire core is made of glass having a construction of ECG 150 3/6 to 3/13. The core wire having the specified number of twists improves the physical properties of the belt.

Abstract: A toothed belt has cores coated with a resorcin-formalin-latex liquid that includes as the latex component at least about 60 wt % of a hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber or a chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber. The teeth can be covered with a tooth covering fabric that is made from yarns containing at least 50 volume percent of aramid fibers.

Abstract: A canvas cover for placement over an exposed surface of a power transmission belt having a length and width, which canvas cover consists of a yarn defining a weft for extension in the longitudinal direction with respect to a belt on which the canvas cover is to be placed, and a twisted yarn defining a warp for extension in the widthwise direction with respect to a belt on which the canvas cover is to be placed. The warp yarn is preferably made up of from 3-15 twisted mono-filaments each of 10-50 denier with a total denier of 210d.

Abstract: A transmission belt having a base section with a plurality of teeth spaced lengthwise of the belt and a canvas layer covering the teeth. The canvas layer has weft yarns extending in a lengthwise direction defined by aromatic polyamide fiber spun yarn twisted with a urethane elastic yarn. The canvas layer further includes warp yarns made by twisting a plurality of filaments, at least one of which is aliphatic mono-filament of 10 to 50 denier, or a plurality of aromatic polyamide multi-filament of 1 to 6 denier.
