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 7):
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; deforming the surface sheet into a pleated shape corresponding to the ridges by passing the surface sheet between a pair of pleating members, one of which has a plurality of ribs arranged to correspond to tops of the ridges and the other of which has a plurality of ribs arranged to correspond to bottoms of grooves between the ridges; and bonding the surface sheet to the core sheet, thereby forming a compression layer-forming portion, the bonding being carried out by placing the surface sheet deformed into the pleated shape over the surface of the core sheet such that the surface sheet covers the surface of the core sheet having the ridges formed thereon.
