A method for making a gas-tight container (1) in elastomeric material comprises: providing two or more separate elastomeric portions (2, 3), cleaning and/or roughening the gluing surfaces (6) of the gluing edges (5), applying an adhesive (7) onto the previously cleaned, degreased and/or roughened gluing surfaces (6), assembling the portions (2, 3) to form the container (1) and inserting between the gluing surfaces (6) a raw elastomeric tape (8) not yet cured, applying a cold pressure on the overlapped gluing edges (5), heating the overlapped gluing edges (5) to thermally activate the curing of the raw tape (8), cooling the gluing areas.

A method of bonding a vulcanized elastomer is provided comprising the steps of; providing an adhesive comprising a primary acrylate monomer, a reactive flexibilizing monomer, and further optionally comprising a toughener, an adhesion promoter and a free radical initiator, then depositing the adhesive on at least one surface of an elastomer or a second substrate, wherein the elastomer is a vulcanized elastomer, then bringing the elastomer substrate and second substrate together with the adhesive disposed therebetween, and allowing the adhesive to cure and bond the elastomer and second substrate together at a temperature of less than about 100° C. to produce a bonded structure.

A wrapped V-belt includes: a belt main body containing a compression layer containing a compression rubber layer and a fabric-laminated body layer a tension rubber layer and a tension member buried between the compression layer and the tension rubber layer; and an outside cloth that covers a periphery of the belt main body, in which the compression layer has a plurality of notch portions not covered with the outside cloth, and the notch portion has a top disposed in the fabric-laminated body layer.

A template made of plexiglass or similar material is inserted into a cover for a protective helmet so that the cover is stretched and once the template is inserted the assembled combination of the cover and the template is oval-shaped. The oval-shaped assembly is placed on top of the bottom plate of a heat press. A layer with a decal or sticker is placed on top of the oval-shaped assembly. A heat press cover sheet is then placed on top of the oval-shaped assembly so that it also becomes into contact with the top plate of the heat press when the heat press is closed. The heat press may be set to a temperature of at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit and it can be set in a closed position for at least 10 seconds in order to transfer sufficient heat so that the decal or sticker is applied or affixed to the cover surface.

The present invention relates to a wrapped V-belt containing: a belt main body containing a compression layer containing a compression rubber layer and a fabric-laminated body layer, a tension rubber layer and a tension member buried between the compression layer and the tension rubber layer; and an outside cloth that covers a periphery of the belt main body, in which the compression layer has a plurality of notch portions not covered with the outside cloth, and the notch portion has a top disposed in the fabric-laminated body layer.
