Abstract
An endless power transmission belt made primarily of an elastomeric material is provided and has a load-carrying section, a ribbed section adjacent the load-carrying section with the ribbed section having a plurality of ribs and the ribs being defined by a plurality of alternating projections and recesses, and a knit cover fabric bonded against the ribs and defining the inside surface of the belt with the knit fabric affording extensibility in a plurality of directions to assure the belt is particularly adapted to be operated in associated sheaves with minimum stresses being imposed thereon due to the cover fabric.

An endless power transmission belt made primarily of an elastomeric material and comprising, a load-carrying section, a ribbed section adjacent said load-carrying section defined by a plurality of ribs, said ribs being defined by a plurality of alternating projections and recesses, and a knit cover fabric bonded against said ribs and defining the inside surface of said belt, said knit fabric being made of a yarn comprised of at least a pair of synthetic plastic materials which are bonded together on an interface having exposed edges, said knit fabric affording extensibility in a plurality of directions to assure said belt is particularly adapted to be operated in associated sheaves with minimum stresses being imposed thereon due to said cover fabric.
An endless power transmission belt comprising, a tension section, a load-carrying section adjoining said tension section, and a compression section adjoining said load-carrying section, said compression section comprising a ribbed section adjacent said load-carrying section with said ribbed section having a plurality of ribs, said ribs being defined by a plurality of alternating projections and recesses, and a knit cover fabric bonded against said ribs and defining the inside surface of said belt, said knit fabric being made of a yarn comprised of at least a pair of synthetic plastic materials which are bonded together on an interface having exposed edges, said knit fabric affording extensibility in a plurality of directions to assure said belt is particularly adapted to be operated in associated sheaves with minimum stresses being imposed thereon.
