Abstract

The present invention provides a belt for a textile machine capable of reducing running noise caused during belt running. A canvas core used in the belt is constituted by a woven fabric based on a twill weave texture in which a warp crosses a plurality of wefts and aggregates (19) of weave points at which the warp crosses the wefts are regularly shifted in one longitudinal direction (L) of the belt to form a twill line (17), and some of the aggregates (19) in the twill line (17) are shifted at a predetermined interval in the opposite direction to the one longitudinal direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A belt for a textile machine comprising a canvas core, the canvas core being constituted by a woven fabric with warps and wefts, which are respectively extending in a longitudinal direction and a width direction of the belt,
the woven fabric composed with minimum units ( 11 ) of a twill weave texture, which are repeatedly arranged in the longitudinal direction and the width direction,
each of the minimum units ( 11 ) being constituted by weave points ( 13 , 15 ) arranged in a vertical direction which is the longitudinal direction of the belt and in a horizontal direction which is the width direction of the belt, each of the weave points ( 13 , 15 ) being a cross point at which a warp of the warps crosses a weft of the wefts,
the weave points ( 13 , 15 ) being constituted by two types of points that are a first weave point ( 13 ) at which the warp crosses the weft by passing over the weft and a second weave point ( 15 ) at which the warp crosses the weft by passing under the weft, wherein
in the minimum unit ( 11 ):
a plurality of columns, each of which is constituted by the weave points ( 13 , 15 ) aligning in the vertical direction, are arranged in the horizontal direction such that one column extending in the vertical direction is parallel to another column next to the one column;
the column includes an aggregate ( 19 ) in which one first weave point ( 13 ) and another first weave point ( 13 ) are arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction; and
a twill line ( 17 ) of the twill weave texture is formed by connecting these aggregates ( 19 ) over the columns such that the twill line ( 17 ) runs in the horizontal direction wherein one aggregate of one column is adjacent to another aggregate ( 19 ) of another column next to the one column in the horizontal direction, wherein

the twill line ( 17 ) is shifted down by one weave point in the vertical direction as the twill line ( 17 ) moves to the next column in the horizontal direction,
after the twill line ( 17 ) moves over more than two of the columns in the horizontal direction, the twill line is shifted up by one weave point in an opposite direction from the vertical direction.

2. The belt according to claim 1 , wherein
the aggregate ( 19 ) consists of one first weave point ( 13 ) and another first weave point ( 13 ).

3. The belt according to claim 2 , wherein
some of the columns further include one second weave point ( 15 ) and another second weave point ( 15 ) arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction.

4. The belt according to claim 1 , wherein
a difference between a cross-sectional height of the warp at the first weave point ( 13 ) and a cross-sectional height of the weft at the second weave point ( 15 ) adjacent to the first weave point ( 15 ) is 80 μm or less.
