摘要 |
The invention comprises a belt having a plied construction overlying tensile cords. An elastomeric layer overlies an overcord which overlies yet another elastomeric layer which in turn overlies a tensile cord (13). The overcord layer (11) supports the tensile cords (13) during molding thereby stabilizing a cordline centerline (CL) position with respect to a rib apex (16). This construction significantly reduces a distance from a tensile cord centerline to a rib apex (16) and rib/pulley interface in a multi-ribbed belt, thereby significantly increasing belt life. |
