<p>The invention comprises a power transmission belt having a compression section, a load carrying section and an outer cover layer (6). The outer cover layer (6) comprises a fabric; fiber loaded stock or blended material for reinforcement. The cover layer (6) is spliced together using a thin non-woven strip (5) of material spanning across the butted ends (61, 62) of the cover layer. The thin strip (15) used in the splice significantly reduces belt noise by being subsumed into the adhesion rubber layer (1) during fabrication.</p> |
