Also the seam part 4 is located between the felts 3 and is formed by a rubber composition bridged above. The width of the seam part 4 is more than 0.2 mm and less than 3.0 mm and the tensile strength Tb of the seam material that composes the seam part 4 is set to be 14.7 Mpa or more. Additionally, the elongation at breakage Eb of the seam material is set to be 500% or more. Thus the seam part 4 does not easily get polluted, nor does it shows the dirt even when polluted.
