Protective cover for guide blocks

A drive belt assembly comprising:

• a driving sprocket wheel including a plurality of driving members;
• a drive belt extending around the driving sprocket wheel;
• a plurality of guide blocks formed on the inner surface of the drive belt for engaging the driving members;
• a plurality of cover members, each one of said plurality of cover members being paired with and positionable over an outer surface of one of said plurality of guide blocks
• said plurality of cover members is attached to the outer surface of said plurality of guide blocks by retaining the cover member with frictional force.
