摘要

A belt (10) for power transmission and for conveying elements is provided wherein the belt comprises a top layer (40) attached to the top surface of the belt. The top layer provides a generally smooth top surface for the belt. The belt preferably is a link belt (20) and the top surface of the belt comprises a bonding layer for adhering the top layer to the belt. The bonding layer may be a thermoplastic urethane that is heat fusible with the compressible layer to adhere the compressible layer to the belt. A method is also provide in which a top layer is adhered to a link belt and the top layer is then severed into a plurality of separate elements.
