摘要 |
The invention comprises a belt having a plied construction overlying tensile cords. An elastomeric layer (10) overlies an overcord (11) which overlies yet another elastomeric layer (12) which in turn overlies a tensile cord (13). The overcord layer supports the tensile cords during molding thereby stabilizing a cordline centerline position with respect to a rib apex. This construction significantly reduces a distance from a tensile cord centerline to a rib apex and rib/pulley interface in a multi-ribbed belt, thereby significantly increasing belt life. |
