Estimating the term…
A cover fabric for power transmission belts having two or more alternating stripes or bands of different frictional properties. The stripes may be different fabric constructions. The fabric may be woven or knit with stripes of different area or yarn densities, different permeabilities, or different openness. The fabric may cover a surface of a V-ribbed-belt, V-belt, toothed belt, flat belt, round belt or other drive belt, resulting in stripes having different amounts of rubber strike through or different coefficients of friction. The stripes may be different rubber compositions or flocking or other materials.
A power transmission belt comprising a pulley-contact surface comprising stripes defined as two or more alternating regions of different coefficient of friction wherein the stripes are alternating regions of different rubber composition.
A power transmission belt comprising a pulley-contact surface comprising stripes defined as two or more alternating regions of different coefficient of friction wherein the stripes include flocked regions alternating with rubber regions.
A power transmission belt comprising a pulley-contact surface comprising stripes defined as two or more alternating regions of different coefficient of friction wherein the pulley-contact surface comprises a reinforcing fabric and said stripes correspond to two or more alternating regions of different weave or knit patterns in said fabric;
A power transmission belt comprising a fabric reinforcement comprising stripes defined as two or more alternating regions of different weave or knit patterns;
A woven or knit fabric for reinforcing a power transmission belt comprising stripes defined as two or more alternating regions of different weave or knit patterns;
