Metal driving belt

Abstract

Abstract A driving belt having a trapezoidal cross-sectional configuration and suitable to transmit a torque between expanding pulleys formed of pairs of conical discs defining a 'V-shaped apace between them for receiving the driving belt, which driving belt comprises a carrier in the form of one or a number of endless metal belts having a continuous series of transverse members (6) freely slidable with respect to the carrier thereon. In such a driving belt there may be a lateral vibration of the transverse members under certain conditions. This vibration, during which the transverse members (6) strike the carrier, results in wear, which can be considerably reduced by providing the parallel surfaces with which the transverse members contact each other with friction-increasing means, such as a grooved surface.
