Abstract
A method of joining two ends of belting having a layer of cover material and an embedded longitudinal reinforcement structure which is longitudinally compressible comprising removing the cover material from the reinforcement structure a short distance from each end of the belting, placing uncovered reinforcement structure ends in end-to-end relationship, and applying a substantially weftless fabric having a compression absorbing warp material so that the warp members are parallel to the length of the belting and the fabric layer overlies the ends, applying cover material and setting or vulcanizing the assembly.

A method of joining two ends of belting having a layer of cover material and an embedded longitudinal reinforcement structure which is longitudinally compressible as hereinbefore defined comprising removing the cover material from the reinforcement structure a short distance from each end of the belting, placing uncovered reinforcement structure ends in end-to-end relationship, and applying a substantially weftless fabric having a compression absorbing warp material as hereinbefore defined so that the warp members are parallel to the length of the belting and the fabric layer overlies the ends, applying cover material and setting or vulcanizing the assembly.
Belting having a layer of cover material and an embedded longitudinal reinforcement structure which is longitudinally compressible, and a joint region in which ends of the embedded reinforcement structure are in end-to-end relationship and covered by an overlying layer of substantially weftless fabric having a compression absorbing warp with warp members of the fabric positioned parallel to the length of the belting.
