In recent years, in order to reduce noise and improve durability, reinforcing fabric has been placed on the surface of the teeth formed from cast elastomer, and a buffer layer has been formed between the reinforcing fabric and the teeth using impermeable elastomer. A toothed endless belt is known. This belt was proposed by the present applicant in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-214538.

Since this belt is in a state where the reinforcing cloth is sealed by the buffer layer, by pressurizing the liquid casting elastomer injected into the mold, the unevenness for forming the teeth of the mold is applied. The advantage of this method is that pressure is applied to the back surface of the reinforcing fabric attached to the belt (the surface facing the buffer layer), and the reinforcing fabric is stretched along the surface of the uneven part, allowing the reinforcing fabric to be shaped into teeth at the same time as the belt is formed. be.

The buffer layer is usually formed by sealing the reinforcing fabric by applying a liquid elastomer to the reinforcing fabric several times, but the sealing is not complete and the work is complicated. On the other hand, by thermocompression bonding a sheet material made of the same elastomer to a reinforcing cloth at a temperature below the softening point of the sheet material, a buffer layer can be easily and completely formed.

In addition, a sheet material in which a surface layer made of a low softening point elastomer and a back layer made of a high softening point elastomer are bonded and integrated is used, and the surface layer is used as the reinforcing fabric side to soften the material at a high softening point or higher. When thermocompression bonding is carried out at a temperature below 100%, the surface layer melts and becomes embedded in the weave of the reinforcing fabric, improving and reinforcing the bonding strength between the reinforcing fabric and the buffer layer (i.e., the back layer of the two-layer sheet material). This can contribute to improving the durability of the cloth itself.

In this case, thermocompression bonding is carried out at a temperature higher than the low softening point and lower than the high softening point. This is because the elastomer with a low softening point is embedded in the weave, contributing to improved adhesiveness and durability. in this case,
The difference in softening temperature is preferably 5 layers C or more from the viewpoint of workability.

When the space 10 is filled with the elastomer material 16, it flows out from the deaeration hole 13 of the upper part 1III, and at the time it flows out, the opening/closing screw 14 is screwed into the deaeration hole 13 to seal the deaeration hole 13. After this sealing, lO~30k
Elastomer material I6 by pressure molding of gf/c+11
Pressure is applied to the reinforcing cloth 4 through. The reinforcing cloth 4 is the buffer layer 7
Since the elastomer material 16 does not penetrate, the inner mold 8 deforms along the shape of the uneven portion 19 on the outer periphery of the inner mold 8 while expanding together with the buffer layer 7 due to pressure.
Reliably adheres to the outer peripheral surface without any gaps. Even during this pressurization,
Since both ends of the reinforcing cloth 4 are fixed between the inner mold 8 and the upper and lower I'11, 12, the reinforcing cloth 4 will not move or shift due to pressure.

Furthermore, a hard elastomer B (for example, 100% Moshuraska 1
00 to 350 kgf/CTa) may be coated. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8, the surface layer of the reinforcing cloth may be impregnated with a hard elastomer B by a coating process, and the back layer on the side of the buffer layer 7 may be impregnated with a softening elastomer A by a coating process. By performing such an impregnation treatment, physical properties can be improved without impairing moldability. Furthermore, in the case of Fig. 8, the elastomer B impregnated into the surface layer may contain a substance that lowers the coefficient of friction (for example, polyurethane containing fluororesin or silicone resin) or one modified with the same substance (for example, silicone-modified polyurethane). ) can be used. Although these elastomers have poor adhesion, they are embedded in the fibers of the reinforcing fabric and are firmly fixed.
This can contribute to lowering the coefficient of friction and thus reducing belt noise. Incidentally, if a large amount of fluororesin or the like is contained, the wear resistance will be reduced, so it is preferable to limit the content to 50% by weight or less.
