Abstract An endless belt is provided which is suitable for being rotated during use in various manufacturing and material handling operations and the like and is characterized by a construction having an increased surface and edge wear potential. The belt is a woven endless fabric strip of predetermined width and length which defines opposing outside and inside surfaces and lefthand and righthand edges and is of a spliceless and Mobius strip construction having a 180° turn in the surfaces thereof for providing in effect one spliceless continuous surface and one spliceless continuous edge of twice the predetermined length of the belt during rotation thereof by the inside surface reversing and becoming the outside surface and the lefthand edge reversing and becoming the righthand edge during each complete revolution of the belt. The belt has an interwoven warp and filling and the warp, preferably, is in the form of at least one continuous warp yarn wrapped generally in the form of a helix of the predetermined length and width of the belt and having a 180° turn at a given location along the length thereof.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
An endless belt suitable for being rotated during use in various manufacturing and material handling operations and the like and characterized by a construction having an increased surface and edge wear potential, said belt comprising a woven endless fabric strip of predetermined width and length and defining opposing outside and inside surfaces and lefthand and righthand edges and being of a spliceless and Mobius strip construction having a 180° turn in said surfaces thereof for providing in effect one spliceless continuous surface and one spliceless continuous edge of twice the predetermined length of said belt during rotation thereof by the inside surface reversing and becoming the outside surface and the lefthand edge reversing and becoming the righthand edge during each complete revolution of said belt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

An endless belt suitable for being rotated during use in various manufacturing and material handling operations and the like and characterized by a construction having an increased surface and edge wear potential, said belt comprising a woven endless fabric strip of predetermined width and length and defining opposing outside and inside surfaces and lefthand and righthand edges and being of a spliceless and Mobius strip construction having a 180° turn in said surfaces thereof for providing in effect one spliceless continuous surface and one spliceless continuous edge of twice the predetermined length of said belt during rotation thereof by the inside surface reversing and becoming the outside surface and the lefthand edge reversing and becoming the righthand edge during each complete revolution of said belt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
An endless belt, as set forth in claim 1, in which said belt comprises an interwoven warp and filling and said warp consisting at least one continuous warp yarn wrapped generally in the form of a helix of the predetermined length and width of said belt and having a 180° turn at a given location along the length thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
