Method of processing a treadmill belt and an apparatus for practicing the method

摘要

A method for enhancing anti-abrasion of a belt of a treadmill and an apparatus for practicing the method are disclosed herein. As processing the belt, the belt is installed in the apparatus and a driving device of the apparatus can move the belt. A distributing device of the apparatus scatters solid lubricative material on the surface of the belt. As the belt being moved, the lubricative material is melted by a heating device of the apparatus. When the belt is moved to leave the heating device, the melted lubricative material coagulates and engages with the surface of the belt.

主权项

1. An apparatus capable of liquefying lubricative powder and coagulating the liquefied lubricative powder to engage with a surface of a belt used in a treadmill to enhance anti-abrasion, the apparatus comprising:
a frame adapted to rest on a surface, the frame having a processing zone, the processing zone having an inlet and an outlet; a driving device mounted on the frame for moving the belt from the inlet of the processing zone to the outlet of the processing zone; a distributing device coupled to the frame, the distributing device having a storage portion for storing the lubricative powder and a releasing portion positioned in the processing zone of the frame for releasing the lubricative powder on the surface of the belt; and a heating device coupled to the frame, the heating device having a heating portion and a space to admit the belt passing through, the space positioned closer to the outlet of the processing zone than the releasing portion of the distributing device, the heating portion being capable of heating the space to a temperature to liquefy the lubricative powder.
