Abstract: A conveyor belt having a width and a length, and a longitudinal centerline, also has a first longitudinal edge, and an opposing second longitudinal edge and a load bearing region. The load bearing region is located evenly about the belt longitudinal centerline, throughout the length of the belt. The conveyor belt also has a first flexibility region and a second flexibility region, wherein the first flexibility region is located between the first longitudinal edge and the load bearing region, and the second flexibility region is located between the second longitudinal edge and the load bearing region.

Abstract: A composite fabric has a first weft sheet and a second weft sheet, each of individual weft yarns, a top warp yarn, a bottom warp yarn, and a binder yarn. The first and second weft sheet yarns each have an outer side and adjacent inner sides. Part of the top warp yarn extends between the first and second weft sheet, and part is woven around at least one first weft sheet yarn outer side. Part of the bottom warp yarn extends between the first and second weft sheet, and part is woven around at least one second weft sheet yarn outer side. The top warp yarn does not weave around any second weft sheet yarns. The bottom warp yarn does not weave around any first weft sheet yarns. The binder yarn weaves alternately around a first weft sheet yarn outer side, and a second weft sheet yarn outer side.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an endless power transmission belt having an elastomeric body and at least one treated textile fabric, the treated textile fabric including a first treatment including a polyamide and an epoxy; and optionally, a second treatment including an RFL adhesive.

Abstract: An endless elastomeric baler belt is comprised of one or more fabric reinforcement layers, and one or more elastomeric layers, and further comprises a reinforcement layer formed of cord or a rubberized strip of one or more cords that are spirally wound in an endless configuration forming a helix. The width of the spiral reinforcement layer is preferably less than the width of the belt.

Abstract: An endless transmission belt having a tension section, a cushion section, a load carrying section disposed between the tension section and the cushion section, at least one drive surface having a fabric layer bonded to an outer surface of the belt and a layer of thermoplastic located between the fabric layer and the cushion section of the power transmission belt.

Abstract: An endless power transmission belt comprising a tension section, a cushion section and a load-carrying section disposed between the tension and the cushion sections, and at least one drive surface having fabric layer bonded to an outer surface of the belt is coated with a layer of polyvinylidene fluoride.

Abstract: An endless power transmission belt comprising (a) a tension section; (b) a cushion section; (c) a load-carrying section disposed between said tension section and cushion section; and (d) at least one drive surface having a fabric layer bonded to an outer surface of the belt, the improvement comprising a coating layer on said fabric layer of a composition containing a zinc salt unsaturated carboxylic acid ester grafted hydrogenated nitrile butadiene elastomer, a curing agent for said elastomer and from 5 to 60 phr of PTFE in the form of fibers, powder and mixtures thereof, dispersed throughout said composition.
