Abstract
A fabric 3 for power transmission belt to be adhered to a belt body 2 of a V-ribbed belt 1 is formed such that carbon fibers with electric conductivity are mixed through spinning into a fabric material such as cotton, nylon and polyester. This prevents the belt from producing a beating sound and producing worn-out dusts in the use as a power transmission belt and enhances the electric conductivity of the power transmission belt to successfully prevent electrostatic charge of the belt.
Claims7
