Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a V-ribbed belt having a plurality of V-shaped ribs extending in a longitudinal direction and arranged in a width direction. The method includes: setting a shaped structure having a plurality of ridges arranged adjacent to one another in a belt mold including a plurality of compressed rubber layer-shaping grooves arranged adjacent to one another on an inner peripheral surface of the mold; molding a belt slab by crosslinking the shaped structure set in the mold, while compressed rubber layer-forming portions face radially outward and are fitted in the compressed rubber layer-shaping grooves, the compressed rubber layer-forming portions comprised of a surface rubber layer and a core rubber layer which are to constitute surface and inner portions, respectively; and cutting the belt slab into ring-shaped pieces having two or more of the compressed rubber layer-forming portions.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein\n before the ridges are covered with the surface rubber sheet, the surface rubber sheet is shaped to have a corrugated cross section having same pitches as those of the ridges, and then, disposed such that portions of the surface rubber sheet protruding toward the ridges are positioned at grooves between the ridges.
