| abstract |
The invention relates to a drive belt (1), in particular a V-ribbed belt, having a vulcanizate-based elastic body comprising a cover layer (2) as belt back and a substructure (5) with a power transmission zone (8), the power transmission zone having a fabric support (10), which is formed of warp threads and weft threads. The drive belt (1) according to the invention is characterized in that - The warp threads run in the belt longitudinal direction and the weft threads in the belt transverse direction; - The warp threads and weft threads are stretchable, wherein the extensibility of the weft threads is greater than that of the warp threads and that - The warp threads and weft threads are textured. With regard to the fabric support (10), advantageous textile technological parameters are presented. Also preferred applications of the drive belt, in particular the V-ribbed belt, addressed. |
