Method of manufacture of cable belts having generally symmetrically tensioned cables

摘要

The longitudinal cables of a belt whose longitudinal centerline differs from that of the equipment on which it is produced and whose cable-to-cable spacing differs from that of the cable tensioner, are tensioned in a generally symmetrical pattern about the longitudinal centerline of the belt. An effective number of cables are directed from the proper edge at the comb into the center of the belt. One half of the remaining cables are moved over the same number of spaces, at the comb, toward the proper edge of the belt.
