FRICTION DRIVE BELT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

In order to make it possible for a friction drive belt to obtain an effect of suppressing slip noise caused between the friction drive belt and a pulley over a long period against exposure to water and abrasion, a V-ribbed belt (B) as a friction drive belt transmits power by a belt body (10) formed from a rubber composition being looped over a pulley. A cloth layer (16) is integrally provided on the pulley contact-side surface of the belt body (10) so as to cover the surface of a V rib (15) that is the pulley contact-side surface, and powder (17) is fixedly integrated while having got into fibers of the cloth layer (16).
