Abstract
A segmental V belt consists of a plurality of body segments selectively joined to form an endless belt of any desired length. Such body segments, which can have sidewall perforations or formations to increase wear life, may be joined by connecting the exposed adjacent ends of reinforcing members otherwise embedded in the body segments, or by connecting the radially outer surfaces of the body segments to a reinforcement strip superimposed thereon.
Claims18
A segmental V belt or the like comprising a plurality of body segments, adapted selectively to be joined into an endless belt of any desired length, fastener means partially embedded in said body segments and partially extending radially outwardly therefrom through the radially outer surfaces of said body segments relative to the endless belt formed therefrom, and connection means superimposed on the radially outer surfaces of said body segments to interconnect the adjacent fasteners at the ends of the adjacent segment bodies to form the same into an endless belt.
A segmental V belt or the like comprising a plurality of body segments, individual flat strips extending through and being embedded in each of said body segments and having end portions exposed at each end of said body portions, and means to interconnect adjacent ends of said flat strips which are formed to receive such means to interconnect, thereby to assemble an endless belt therefrom of any desired length.
A segmental V belt or the like comprising a plurality of body segments, at least one cable or the like passed through a similar number of longitudinal holes formed in and extending through each of said body segments from one end to the other, said cable having ene portions exposed at each end of said body portion, and means to interconnect adjacent ends of said cables for adjacent body segments to form an endless belt therefrom of any desired length.
A segmental V belt or the like comprising a plurality of body segments having sidewalls with means thereon to increase flexibility and to dissipate heat, individual reinforcement means extending through each of said body segments and having end portions exposed at each end of said body portions, and means to interconnect adjacent ends of said individual reinforcement means to form an endless belt therefrom of any desired length.
