WOVEN STRUCTURE OF BELT FORM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

A woven structure of a belt form which is woven by the use of a non-heat fusible synthetic fiber and a heat fusible synthetic fiber containing, in the surface thereof, a heat fusible component having a softening point lower by 30°C or more than that of the non-heat fusible synthetic fiber, wherein the heat fusible synthetic fiber is used in at least a part of the wefts constituting the woven structure and is heat-treated at a temperature of a softening point of the heat fusible component or higher, and as a result, a plurality of the heat fusible synthetic fibers, or the heat fusible synthetic fiber and the non-heat fusible synthetic fiber are fused and fixed to each other. The woven structure allows the production of a woven structure of a belt form, such as a webbing for a sheet belt, which can retain the stiffness in the weft direction over a long period of time even when it is repeatedly used, and thus is less prone to twisting, and further is soft and easy to handle, with good efficiency.
