Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A friction transmission belt includes a belt body, formed of a rubber composition, looped over a pulley, and transmitting power. The friction transmission belt includes a reinforcing fabric wrapping at least a surface, of the belt body, in contact with the pulley. The reinforcing fabric is a knitted fabric, and on the surface of the belt body in contact with the pulley, a wale direction of the reinforcing fabric is a direction in which the friction transmission belt travels.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A friction transmission belt including a belt body formed of a rubber composition, looped over a pulley, and transmitting power, the friction transmission belt comprising a reinforcing fabric configured to wrap at least a surface of the belt body in contact with the pulley, the reinforcing fabric being a knitted fabric, wherein on the surface of the belt body in contact with the pulley, a wale direction of the reinforcing fabric is a direction in which the friction transmission belt travels. 2 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing fabric has a front facing outwardly. 3 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , the friction transmission belt being a V-ribbed belt having V-shaped ribs provided to an inner circumference of, and extending in a longitudinal direction of, the V-ribbed belt, wherein the reinforcing fabric is configured to wrap surfaces of the V-shaped ribs. 4 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing fabric is plain-knitted. 5 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing fabric is knitted of wooly-finished yarns made of polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, cotton, or nylon fibers which are wooly-finished. 6 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing fabric is knitted of covered yarns each made of a polyurethanestrerch yarn, serving as a core yarn, covered with a covering yarn. 7 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , wherein a fiber surface of the reinforcing fabric is coated with a Resorcinol Formaldehyde Latex (RFL) coat including a friction coefficient reducing agent dispersed throughout the RFL coat. 8 . The friction transmission belt of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the reinforcing fabric is embedded in the rubber composition included in the belt body.
