Patent number: 10458515Abstract: A production method for producing a frictional power transmission belt containing an extensible layer forming a belt back surface, a compressive rubber layer formed on one surface of the extensible layer and frictionally engaging at the lateral surface thereof with pulleys, and a tension member embedded between the extensible layer and the compressive rubber layer along the belt length direction. A surface of at least a part of the compressive rubber layer to be in contact with pulleys is coated with a fiber/resin mixture layer that contains a resin component and heat-resistant fibers having a softening point or a melting point higher than a vulcanization temperature in a mixed state, and the heat-resistant fibers contain a fiber embedded so as to extend from the fiber/resin mixture layer to the compressive rubber layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd.Inventors: Manabu Mitsutomi, Yoshihito Noborikawa, Tsuyoshi Takehara

Patent number: 9752650Abstract: A V-ribbed belt contains an extension layer forming a belt back face, a compression layer provided on one side of the extension layer, and a tension member embedded between the extension layer and the compression layer and extending in a belt circumferential length direction. The compression layer has a plurality of V-shaped ribs formed to be extending in the belt circumferential length direction and to be a frictional power transmission surface with a pulley. The frictional power transmission surface is covered with a knitted fabric, in which the knitted fabric is knitted out of a polyester-based composite yarn and a cellulose-based natural spun yarn. The polyester-based composite yarn is a bulky yarn, and a knitting ratio of the cellulose-based natural spun yarn is not less than a knitting ratio of the polyester-based composite yarn.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyo Kojima, Yusuke Suzumegano, Yoshihito Noborikawa, Manabu Mitsutomi
