Abstract
A power transmission chain belt has multiple inner links, each having a pair of pin apertures. The links are interleaved in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The links are connected by a connecting pin inserted in the pin aperture to compose a chain belt. The connecting pin is composed of a joint pin of an arcuate cross-section, both end faces of which contact the pulley's friction face, and a rocker pin of arcuate cross-section, which is shorter than the joint pin. The outer link is arranged on the outside of outermost inner link. A stepped portion of the joint pin is press-fitted into a pair of pin apertures of outer link.
