Abstract:
A production method of a V-belt uses a belt mold having a plurality of compression layer-shape grooves arranged adjacent to one another in a groove width direction. A shaped structure having a plurality of ridges on an outer peripheral surface is crosslinked and combined with a fabric material to form a belt slab, while the compression layer-forming portions, which are the ridges covered with the fabric material, being fitted in the respective compression layer-shape grooves of the belt mold. The belt slab is cut into ring-shaped pieces such that one ring-shaped piece corresponds to one compression layer-forming portion.

Claim (Index 19):
A production method of a V-belt having a compression layer which forms an inner peripheral side, in a thickness direction, of the V-belt, and which has, on both sides thereof, friction transmission surfaces covered with a covering fabric, the method comprising:\n using a belt mold having a plurality of compression layer-shape grooves arranged adjacent to one another in a groove width direction; heating and pressing, toward the belt mold, and thereby crosslinking a shaped structure that has a cylindrical shape and integrating the shaped structure and a fabric material to form a cylindrical belt slab, the shaped structure being made of an uncrosslinked rubber composition and having, on an outer peripheral surface thereof, a plurality of ridges each extending in a circumferential direction and arranged adjacent to one another in an axial direction, while having each of compression layer-forming portions, which are to be the compression layer, fitted in an associated one of the compression layer-shape grooves of the belt mold, each of the compression layer-forming portions being comprised of an associated one of the plurality of ridges of the shaped structure which is covered with the fabric material to be the covering fabric; cutting the belt slab into ring-shaped pieces such that one ring-shaped piece corresponds to one compression layer-forming portion; and prior to the heating the shaped structure and pressing the shaped structure toward the belt mold, the ridges are covered with the fabric material so as to form the compression layer-forming portions, and before the ridges are covered with the fabric material, the fabric material is shaped so as to be fitted to surfaces of the ridges.
