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 1):
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 a step of forming a shaped structure having a cylindrical shape, made of an uncrosslinked rubber, and having, on its outer peripheral surface, a plurality of ridges extending in a circumferential direction and arranged adjacent to one another in an axial direction; a step of forming compression layer-forming portions after forming the ridges, each of the compression layer-forming portions to be the compression layer, by covering the formed ridges with a fabric material which is to be the covering fabric; a step of molding a cylindrical belt slab, using a belt mold having a plurality of compression layer-shape grooves arranged adjacent to one another in a groove width direction, by heating and pressing, toward the belt mold, and thereby crosslinking the shaped structure, formed in the step of forming the shaped structure, and integrating the shaped structure and the fabric material, while having each of the compression layer-forming portions, which are formed in the step of forming the compression layer-forming portions, fitted in an associated one of the compression layer-shape grooves of the belt mold; and a step of cutting the belt slab, molded in the step of molding the belt slab, into ring-shaped pieces such that one ring-shaped piece corresponds to one compression layer-forming portion.
