Abstract
A V belt to be used for a dry type transmission. It comprises at least one endless load carrier with cogs at the underside thereof and a plurality of blocks with slots in which said load carrier is fitted. Said load carrier and said blocks are engaged with each other in a lengthwise direction of the belt by engagement of a curved convexed surface of a slot under surface of the block with a curved concaved part which is a valley between adjoining cogs of the load carrier. Cog peaks of the load carrier are positioned above the lowermost end position of the slots of adjoining blocks at the part of rectilinear state.
Claims17
A V belt which is wound round at least two pulleys, comprising an endless load carrier having cogs with alternations of cog peak and cog valley at its underside and a plurality of blocks with slots in which said load carrier is fitted, said load carrier and said blocks being engaged with each other in a lengthwise direction of the belt by engagement of a curved concave part which is a cog valley between adjoining cogs of said load carrier with a curved convexed surface which extends over the whole slot under surface of the block, said curved convexed surface being at least the same size as said curved concaved surface of the load carrier, and cog peaks of the load carrier being positioned above the lowermost position of a curved convexed part of the slots of adjoining two blocks in a rectilinear state and being compressed and deformed in a state where it was wound round a pulley.
A V belt which is wound round at least two pulleys, comprising at least one endless load carrier having cogs with alternations of cog peak and cog valley at its underside and a plurality of blocks with slots in which said load carrier is fitted, said load carrier and said blocks being engaged with each other in a lengthwise direction of the belt by engagement of a curved concave part which is a cog valley between adjoining cogs of said load carrier with a curved convexed surface which extends over the whole slot under surface of the block, a top end of the convexed part which is a cog peak of the load carrier between adjoining two blocks has a concaved part at the top end thereof and the load carrier makes contact with almost the whole of the curved convexed surface of the slot of the block.
A V belt which is wound round at least two pulleys, comprising at least one endless load carrier having cogs with alternations of cog peak and cog valley at its underside and a plurality of blocks with slots in which said load carrier is fitted, said load carrier and said blocks being engaged with each other in a lengthwise direction of the belt by engagement of a curved concave part which is a cog valley between adjoining cogs of said load carrier with a curved convexed surface, the radius of curvature of said curved convexed surface of said block being at least as large as the curved concaved surface of the load carrier and the cog peak of the load carrier being compressed and deformed in the state where the belt was wound round a pulley.
