  • Patent number: 10006518
    Abstract: A toothed belt includes an endless back portion, a plurality of belt teeth arranged on a face of the back portion at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the back portion; and a core made of an elastic knitted or unwoven fabric and embedded in the back portion. Both of the belt teeth and the back portion are made of rubber. The core is not exposed from inter-tooth portions which are located between the belt teeth. In the core, a difference between the position of a point that is closest to the belt teeth in a belt thickness direction and the position of a point that is closest to a back face of the belt in the belt thickness direction is limited to 0.5 mm or less.

  • Publication number: 20130085028
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an environmentally-friendly transmission belt. Provided is a transmission belt formed of a crosslinked rubber, wherein 80% by mass or more of the transmission belt comprises non-petroleum resources, and a base rubber of the crosslinked rubber is a natural rubber.

  • Patent number: 5779584
    Abstract: A V-ribbed belt applicable to back-face drive includes, as a belt body, an adhesion rubber layer having a rectangular section and extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt, a compression rubber layer disposed on the inner face of the adhesion rubber layer, an upper fabric layer disposed on the back face of the adhesion rubber layer as a peelable layer, and cords disposed within the adhesion rubber layer, and a mark indicating a manufacture lot number and the like is disposed on the back side of the belt body. Specifically, the mark is sandwiched between the adhesion rubber layer and the upper fabric layer. As a result, a level difference derived from the mark on the back side of the belt body is suppressed, so as to prevent a noise in driving the belt. In addition, the mark can be prevented from erasing in driving the belt on its back face. In case of necessity, for example, when it is necessary to pursue a lot, the upper fabric layer can be peeled to confirm the mark.
