Estimating the term…
A drive belt (20) flexible in the circumferential direction for the transmission of mechanical power between two rotating pulleys (1, 2), is provided with a tension element (31) and with a number of transverse elements (40) which are provided on the tension element and have two largely axially directed, mutually radially outwardly diverging side faces (23) intended for frictional contact with the pulleys (1, 2). The tension element (31) here includes a flat, thin ring which is self-contained in the circumferential direction of the drive belt (20).
