Abstract
Belting having a layer of covering material and a compression resistant longitudinal reinforcement structure the belting being formed with a joint region at which ends of the reinforcement structure are in end-to-end relationship with a layer of jointing fabric overlying the ends of the reinforcement structure and positioned with warp members of the jointing fabric lying parallel to the length of the belting, the jointing fabric having a high tensile strength in the warp direction and sufficient crimp or twist to absorb compressive force in the warp direction.
Claims22
Belting having a layer of covering material and a compression resistant longitudinal reinforcement structure as hereinbefore defined, the belting being formed with a joint region at which ends of the reinforcement structure are in end-to-end relationship with a layer of jointing fabric as hereinbefore defined overlying the ends of the reinforcement structure and positioned with warp members of the jointing fabric lying parallel to the length of the belting.
A method of joining two ends of belting having a layer of cover material and a compression resistant longitudinal reinforcement structure as hereinbefore defined comprising removing the cover layer from the longitudinal reinforcement structure for a short distance from each belting end, placing the uncovered reinforcement structure ends in end-to-end relationship, applying a layer of jointing fabric as hereinbefore defined with the warp members parallel to the length of the belting to overlie the ends, applying covering material and setting and vulcanizing the assembly.
