Abstract
A plate-link chain for a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having a continuously variable transmission ratio. Individual rocker joints that join chain links formed by plate sets are designed as pairs of rocker members inserted into openings in the plates and having rolling surfaces that bear against each other. Three plates lying side-by-side in the transverse direction of the plate-link chain and which are associated with three adjacent chain links in the longitudinal direction of the plate-link chain, form a plate subsequence. Outer plates of a plate subsequence in the transverse direction of the plate-link chain are situated in the same chain link with an outer plate of an adjacent plate subsequence that is adjacent in the transverse direction of the plate-link chain.

A plate-link chain for a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having a continuously variable transmission ratio, of which chain individual rocker joints that join chain links formed by plate sets are designed as pairs of rocker members positioned in openings in the plates and having rolling surfaces that bear against each other, said chain comprising:
- three plates lying side-by-side in a transverse direction of the plate-link chain, wherein the three plates are associated with three adjacent chain links in a longitudinal direction of the plate-link chain to form a plate subsequence, and wherein plates of a plate subsequence that are outer plates in the transverse direction of the plate-link chain are situated in the same chain link with a plate of an adjacent plate subsequence that is adjacent in the transverse direction.
