ARTICLE, PARTICULARLY DRIVE BELT, HAVING A TEXTILE LAYER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DRIVE BELT
First Claim
1. An article having an elastic foundational body based on a vulcanizate having a wear-susceptible article surface which is provided with a textile cover ply, wherein the textile cover ply includes a mesh construction, which permits the passage of the vulcanizate to the textile surface to form a textile-vulcanizate hybrid system, and wherein the vulcanizate fraction at the textile surface is controllable via the mesh count, mesh size and thread construction of the textile cover ply.

Abstract
The invention relates to an article including an elastic main body on the basis of a vulcanized rubber (17) having an article surface that is susceptible to wear, which is provided with a textile layer. The textile layer, particularly a woven fabric (16) or knitted fabric, has a mesh design that allows the vulcanized rubber (17) to penetrate to the textile surface to form a textile-vulcanized rubber hybrid system (15), wherein the vulcanized rubber portion on the textile surface can be controlled by means of the stitch number, stitch width and the thread design of the textile layer. The article is in particular a drive belt and in connection with the primary intended use, a method for making a drive belt is provided.

16. A process for producing a drive belt having an elastic foundational body based on a vulcanizable mixture of an elastomer forming a vulcanizate, comprising a top ply as belt backing and a substructure with a force transmission zone, wherein the top ply and/or the particularly wear-susceptible force transition zone is/are provided with a textile cover ply, comprising:
-
providing the unvulcanized belt blank with a textile cover ply, which includes a mesh construction enabling the vulcanizable mixture of elastomer to pass to the textile surface; and
,finally vulcanizing the belt blank provided with the textile cover ply to form a textile-vulcanizate hybrid system, wherein the vulcanizate fraction at the textile surface is controlled via the mesh count, mesh size and thread construction of the textile cover ply. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29)
