Abstract: A toothed belt where the crown surfaces of its teeth are to be disposed on the bases of gear wheel grooves is provided. In order to achieve a dampened, low-noise running-up of the toothed belt upon the gear wheel, as well as to achieve a free-of-play filling of the gear wheel grooves via the belt teeth in the direction of rotation as required for a reversible belt drive, embedded in the crown surface of each tooth belt is a crown piece made of a material that is elastically softer than the belt material. Viewed in the longitudinal cross-section of the belt, the crown piece extends essentially over the entire length of the crown surface of the belt tooth and protrudes from the crown surface in such a way that as the tooth runs up on the gear wheel, first the part of the curved outer side that protrudes the most strikes the base of the gear wheel groove, and subsequently this outer side is pressed flat against the groove by the belt tension.

Abstract: A belt drive comprising a toothed belt and a toothed pulley. The belt is provided with a guide rib that extends in the longitudinal direction of the belt and traverses the teeth thereof. To provide lateral guidance of the belt on a toothed pulley, the guide rib engages an annular groove on the periphery of the pulley. Disposed on the base of the annular groove of the pulley is an insert that is made of a material that has a softer resilience than does the material of the belt. The radial height of the insert is such that when the toothed belt runs up onto the toothed pulley, the guide rib of the belt first contacts the soft-elastic insert, and only after radial compression of the insert do the belt teeth rest upon the corresponding surfaces of the toothed pulley.

Abstract: A belt drive comprising a toothed belt and a toothed pulley. The belt has teeth that are divided into at least two strip-like rows that are disposed next to one another, with the rows being offset relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the belt in such a way that the teeth of one row are disposed at least partially laterally adjacent to the grooves between the teeth of the adjacent row. In conformity with the number and offset of the rows of the teeth of the belt, the toothed pulley comprises at least two pulley sections that are staggered relative to one another and are connected to one another.

Abstract: In order to achieve the ability to negotiate curves, the toothed-belt-like conveyor belt is formed in the plane of the conveyor belt by plates, which consist of a rigid, hard plastic, are at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the belt and have a driving cog molded to their underside. Along the center line of the belt, the plates are connected together by a narrow rib, which is molded to the underside of the plates, is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the belt, stands out from the underside of the plates, consists of a soft, rubberlike, elastically deformable plastic, and contains an embedded tensional reinforcement.

Abstract: An annular channel on the circumference of a rotatable moulding wheel is closed with a part-circular covering to form a mould cavity at the commencement of which mouldable material is introduced with an injection nozzle. For the production of reinforced toothed belts with a circumference larger by any desired amount than the moulding wheel circumference, a moulding ring consists of a flexible band, the diameter of which is larger than the moulding wheel diameter. The moulding ring is formed with toothing and a force-transmission element coil is wound on the exterior and has its ends fixed on the moulding ring.

Abstract: A method of producing a reinforced plastics toothed belt having a fabric cover on the toothed side of the belt. Formed between a molding wheel and a molding wheel cover is a mold cavity into which the liquid plastics material, the reinforcing wires, and the strip of fabric are introduced. The strip of fabric, which is resiliently extensible in its longitudinal direction, is wetted, in the unextended state, before being introduced into the mold cavity, with an adhesive agent which hardens by drying and softens again under the temperature of the liquid plastics material. After the drying of the adhesive agent, the strip of fabric is introduced into the mold cavity and is placed on the teeth of the molding wheel. In the mold cavity, the strip of fabric is heated on meeting the liquid plastics material, is made resiliently extensible again as the adhesive agent softens, and is pressed into the grooves between the teeth of the molding wheel by the plastics material.

Abstract: A mould and method for the manufacture of a length of plastic tube within which a reinforcing wire coil is embedded, the toothed-belt-like inner side of the tube being covered by a fabric cover, the mould comprising a mould core having axial teeth, tooth notches therebetween and a mould sleeve spaced therearound. The mould core, over which the sleeve-shaped fabric cover is first of all placed, whereupon the wire coil is wound thereon, forms, with the mould sleeve, a mould cavity having the shape of a cylindrical ring, the plastic being introduced axially into the mould cavity from one end. At a face end the mould core has an non-toothed mould core portion which projects axially beyond the end of the teeth and has a holding surface, the diameter of which is reduced down to the diameter of the tooth notches.

Abstract: A method of producing an endless reinforced toothed belt of synthetic plastics material, the circumferential length of which in the untensioned condition has a predetermined minus tolerance in relation to an operationally tensioned intended circumference having the exact tooth pitch. The steps include placing on a molding wheel and a tensioning wheel a helically wound wire coil with fixed wire ends, the molding wheel and the tensioning wheel having an interaxial distance at which the wire coil has the minus tolerance in relation to the intended circumference. Then the wound wire coil is tensioned with elastic stretching of the wire turns and is enlarged to the intended circumference by increasing the interaxial distance to the intended distance.

Abstract: A method of producing an endless toothed belt of synthetic or plastics material, or similar extrudable material, having a wire- or thread-like reinforcing insert which extends in the circumferential direction of the belt and having a fabric cover covering the toothed side of the belt. A finite belt strand is formed in a closed mold cavity from introduced liquid plastics material and from a fabric strip which is introduced along that shaping surface of the mold cavity which forms the toothed side of the belt strand, thus coating the toothed side of the belt strand with the fabric strip. That side of the belt strand which is remote from the toothed side of the belt is provided with a plurality of grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt strand.

Abstract: A form tool for the production of a hose piece from an injectable material with wire-, rope- or cable-, or thread- shaped reinforcement inserts made of metal, textile or the like, the reinforcement inserts extending in the circumferential direction of the hose piece, comprising a mould sleeve and a mould core, which form an annular cylindrical hollow mould space therebetween, whereby on the periphery of the mould core, extending in the axial direction of the latter, supporting ribs for distancing of the reinforcement inserts are arranged spaced from the periphery of the mould core, and whereby the supporting ribs have recesses in which there engage the reinforcement inserts which are wound on the supporting ribs.

Abstract: A continuous process for making endless toothed belts using a reinforced toothed belt preform of indefinite length by spirally winding the preform around toothed wheels spaced a variable distance while fusing the spiral wraps into a belt tube. One of the wheels forms a closed arc shaped mold chamber sealed toward the outside by a molding belt with one end of the chamber sealingly closed by the entering length with the laterally exiting flexible length or tube advancing axially through the other end and cut to the desired width to form individual belts. The circumferential length is varied by varying the distance between the wheels. The preform can be accurately formed from an unfinished belt by fusing around the fixed radial distance supported reinforcement using wheels in cooperation with a closed chamber prior to forming the tube.

Abstract: A method of producing in a continuous process an endless driving belt of any desired circumferential length of an extrudable synthetic material with a pull-resistant reinforcing insert extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt to be produced, according to which a mold chamber is formed between a rotatable molding wheel and an endless molding belt moving along a portion of the circumference of the molding wheel together with the latter. Liquid synthetic material is in a continuous manner and under pressure introduced into the sealed start of the mold chamber. The reinforcing insert is in a sealed manner likewise continuously introduced into the mold chamber while the reinforcing insert during the embedding thereof in the liquid synthetic material is up to the solidification of the synthetic material and prior to leaving the mold chamber supported at a radial distance from the surface of the molding wheel.

Abstract: A method of and device for producing reinforced profile belts, especially transmission belts, of extrudable material in a continuous manner successive portions of an endless belt are passed over a peripheral but different section of constant magnitude of a rotating wheel, preferably a wheel with peripheral teeth, so as together with said wheel to form a closed arc-shaped mold chamber. This mold chamber is sealed toward the outside while reinforcing strength members and extruded material from which the respective belt is to be made are continuously fed into the mold chamber.
