Abstract:
A surface sheet which is to constitute a surface layer and a core sheet which is to constitute a core layer are prepared. A plurality of ridges is formed on the core sheet, and the surface sheet is bonded such that the surface sheet covers the plurality of ridges, thereby forming compression layer-forming portions.

Claim (Index 4):
A method of producing a belt including a compression layer comprised of a surface layer and a core layer, the surface layer forming a surface portion of the belt, the core layer forming an inner portion, of the belt, having one or a plurality of ridges, the method comprising:\n preparing a surface sheet which is to constitute the surface layer, and a core sheet which is to constitute the core layer; forming the plurality of ridges on a surface of the core sheet by passing the core sheet through a through hole of a die, the through hole having a shape corresponding to the ridges; and bonding the surface sheet to the core sheet such that the surface sheet covers the surface of the core sheet having the ridges formed thereon, thereby forming a compression layer-forming portion, wherein the bonding is carried out by passing the surface sheet and the core sheet between a core-shaping flat roll having a flat surface and a surface-shaping grooved roll having a plurality of trapezoidal grooves each of which corresponds to the ridge and which are arranged in an axial direction of the surface-shaping grooved roll, wherein the surface sheet is processed to have a shape corresponding to the ridges when being passed between the rolls.
