BELT AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND SPLICING

摘要

In a belt there is provided an end region facilitating splicing or repair of the belt. The region includes a reinforcing core extending in the lengthwise direction of the belt and a separator layer. The separator layer is relatively non-adherent to the reinforcing core and facilitates removal of at least one of the outer cover layers for splicing or repair of the belt. The region is provided during manufacture of the belt.
