Belt and indicator assembly and method for use in belt manufacture

摘要

A marketing indicator arrangement for application to a belt comprises a strip member having first and second opposed ends and an adhesive layer disposed on a first side of the strip member at the first end thereof, the strip member being comprised of a material selected so as not to take a permanent set upon coiling of a belt with the strip member retained therewith. A method for providing a plurality of marketing indicators each of a predetermined first width involves the steps of providing a substrate widthwise of a dimension which is at least a multiple of the predetermined first width and having opposed first and second ends, applying a support member to the substrate widthwise thereof at the first substrate end, applying marketing information to the substrate between the first and second ends thereof in repetitive information sets widthwise of the substrate, and then subdividing the substrate widthwise thereof at intervals of the predetermined first width.
