Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing drive belts from different materials by means of casting processes. To this end, a mould core and an outer mould of a casting tool are provided. The circumferential surface of the mould core or the inner circumferential surface of the outer mould is provided with a geometry to be represented on the drive belt. A textile layer is laid on the geometry. The mould core is set into the outer mould so that the mould core and the outer mould define a cavity between them. Optionally, a tension member can be arranged in the cavity and the cavity can be sealed with respect to the environment at least in the region of the geometry to be represented on the drive belt. The textile layer is applied to the surfaces defining the geometry and an elastomer base material is introduced into the cavity.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for producing a drive belt, comprising:\n a) providing a mould core and an outer mould of a casting tool, wherein the mould core is provided to be inserted into the outer mould such that a cavity representing a shape of the drive belt to be produced is formed between the outer mould and the mould core sitting therein, and wherein a circumferential surface of the mould core assigned to the cavity or the inner circumferential surface of the outer mould assigned to the cavity is provided with a geometry to be represented on the drive belt which is formed by recesses or protrusions which are delimited by surfaces abutting one another which are formed into the circumferential surface of the mould core or the inner circumferential surface of the outer mould or formed on the circumferential surface of the mould core or the inner circumferential surface of the outer mould; b) placing a textile layer on the geometry to be represented on the drive belt; c) inserting the mould core into the outer mould so that the mould core and the outer mould define the cavity between them; d) optionally arranging a tension member in the cavity; e) optionally sealing the cavity at least in a region of the geometry to be represented on the drive belt with respect to the environment; f) applying the textile layer on the surfaces which delimit the geometry to be represented on the drive belt on the mould core or on the outer mould, wherein applying the textile layer on the geometry (work step f)) is supported by generating an underpressure in a region of the free spaces which are present between the textile layer and the geometry after work step b); g) introducing a castable elastomer base material into the cavity; h) optionally pressing base material after completely filling the cavity with the base material to effect a pressure increase in the cavity; i) optionally maintaining the pressure acting on the base material until the base material has become sufficiently hard; j) demoulding a belt winding obtained; and k) optionally separating the drive belt from the belt winding.
