Abstract:
A shaped structure and a fabric material are set in a belt mold such that the shaped structure and the fabric material are respectively positioned inside and outside with respect to each other. While each of compression layer-forming portions comprised of ridges of the shaped structure covered with the fabric material is fitted in an associated one of compression layer-shaping grooves of the belt mold, the shaped structure is pressed toward the belt mold and heated to be crosslinked, and integrated with the fabric material, thereby molding a cylindrical belt slab. The belt slab is cut into ring-shaped pieces having two or more of the compression layer-forming portions.

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