Belt edge

[0054]In order that the invention may be more clearly understood an embodiment / embodiments thereof will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:

[0055]FIG. 1 shows a cross section of belt comprising warp yarns, weft yarns and a fused region formed from the warp yarn, the weft yarn and the yarn for fusing the warp and weft yarns.

[0056]The above embodiment is described by way of example only. Many variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0057]FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a belt (1) comprising a plurality of interlocking warp yarns (2) and weft yarns (3). The warp yarns are longitudinal (i.e. they run in machine direction) and the weft yarns are woven through the warp yarns in a direction perpendicular to the machine direction. Further yarns (4) for fusing the warp yarns and the weft yarns are provided substantially parallel with the warp yarns (i.e. they also run in the machine direction) at eac
