  • Patent number: 6908676
    Abstract: A transmission belt comprising a belt body and a cord. The belt body is made of a rubber composition. The cord is comprised of poly-p-phenylene benzobisoxazole fiber. The cord is embedded in the belt body. The belt body and the cord are formed into an integral whole by vulcanizing the rubber composition. The surface of the cord is subjected to a primary treatment involving coating a mixture of an epoxy compound and latex and heat treating, and a secondary treatment involving coating a resorcinol-formalin-latex adhesive and heat treating.

  • Patent number: 6605014
    Abstract: Toothed belt comprises teeth and bottoms which are alternately formed at one surface of the toothed rubber layer of the toothed belt. A fabric is provided at the outer surface of the teeth and the bottoms. A back rubber layer is integrally provided at the other surface of the toothed rubber layer. A plurality of cords are interposed at the interface between the toothed rubber layer and the back rubber layer.

  • Patent number: 6406397
    Abstract: A toothed belt includes a toothed rubber layer having teeth formed on a surface thereof and containing a plurality of short fibers entirely distributed therein. The surface of the toothed rubber layer, on which the teeth are formed, is covered with a cover fabric. A back rubber layer is integrally applied to the other surface of the toothed rubber layer. A plurality of cord elements is disposed across a width of the belt and is intervened between the toothed rubber layer and the back layer in such a manner that a portion of each cord element is embedded in the toothed rubber layer, and the remaining portion thereof is embedded in the back rubber layer. The short fibers are entirely distributed in the toothed rubber layer and are regularly oriented.

  • Patent number: 6086500
    Abstract: A toothed belt with improved durability and low noise level during operation having a foundation fabric 2 adhesive-bonded along the engaging surface 5 thereof, wherein the yarns of said foundation fabric 2 extending in the longitudinal direction of the toothed belt comprise a plurality of false-twisted yarns false-twisted in the same false twist direction; the foundation fabric 2 is formed by weaving said yarns and the yarns crossing said yarns in a double-faced twill pattern and is located where the face of said foundation fabric 2 with fewer of said exposed false-twisted yarns is exposed to the front face.

  • Patent number: 5584771
    Abstract: A power transmission belt includes a belt body having a tooth portion and made of a rubber stock of hydrogenated nitrile having a Mooney viscosity at 100.degree. C. of at least 90, whereby the internally generated heat of the belt body during use in a high temperature environment is suppressed. A cashew-modified phenol resin layer is formed at the outermost layer of the cords for bonding with the belt body. The cords are embedded in the longitudinal direction of the belt body.

  • Patent number: 5529545
    Abstract: A toothed belt (1) having a woven fabric (5) adhered to its meshing face, wherein the woven fabric (5) has longitudinal yarns (9) extending in the longitudinal direction of the toothed belt (1) and formed of covered yarns (15), each of which is prepared by turning a high tensile strength and heat resistance fiber yarn (17) on a core (16) made of an elastic yarn and by further turning a synthetic fiber yarn (18) on the high tensile strength and heat resistant fiber yarn. The high tensile strength and heat resistance fiber yarn (17) is restrained by the covering synthetic fiber yarn (18) so that it does not protrude in the form of large loops, thereby reducing the bulkiness of the woven fabric (5). As a result, the toothed belt is excellent in wear resistance and durability.

  • Patent number: 4826472
    Abstract: A toothed belt having a woven fabric adhesive-bonded to the surface thereof which is adapted to be brought into contact with pulley, wherein, out of the yarns forming the woven fabric, the yarns to be located in the longitudinal direction of the belt comprise crimped yarns obtained by subjecting to crimping nylon multi-filament yarns having a relative viscosity of about 2.5 to sulphuric acid, a filament fineness of 2.5 d or under, and a filament strength of 7.5 g/d or over. This toothed belt is excellent in wear resistance on the surface thereof which is adapted to be brought into contact with pulleys and does not suffer from cracking.
