Abstract
The invention relates to a belt, strap, conveyor belt (20) having a support fabric (2) in which at least one electrically conductive loop (4) is embedded. The conductive loop is sewn onto the support fabric (2), so that even conveyor belts (20) which have an extremely thin cover layer (22) can be provided with conductive loops.
Claims16
A belt or conveyor belt including an elongated flexible member, the belt or conveyor belt comprising:
- at least one support fabric embedded in said elongated flexible member;
- an electrically conductive loop attached to said support fabric;
- and,
- at least a portion of said electrically conductive loop being sewn onto the support fabric.
A method of making a belt or conveyor belt which includes an elongated flexible member, the flexible member having at least one support fabric embedded therein, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing said support fabric;
- sewing electrically conductive loops onto said support fabric;
- and,
- embedding said support fabric with said conductive loops between cover layers.
A method of making a belt or conveyor belt which includes an elongated flexible member, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a support fabric which contains at least two electrically conductive first thread segments at a spacing from each other;
- sewing two electrically conductive second thread segments to said support fabric and connecting said second thread segments to said first thread segments to form an electrically conductive loop;
- and,
- embedding said support fabric with said conductive loop between cover layers.
A method of making a belt or conveyor belt which includes an elongated flexible member, the belt having a metallic tension carrier, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a grid-like support fabric;
- sewing an electrically conductive loop onto said grid-like support fabric;
- and,
- introducing said support fabric prepared in this manner into an elongated flexible piece of raw material at any location thereon.
