Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the angle of at least one side surface of an endless power transmission belt construction of the V-belt type and a method of making such apparatus are provided, the apparatus having a first part against which the belt construction is adapted to be disposed in a belt construction measuring position thereof and having a second part pivotally mounted to pivot on an axis thereof and being adapted to be pivotally disposed against the one side surface to indicate the angle thereof by the relation of its pivoted position relative to a reference when the belt construction is against the first part in the measuring position thereof. The apparatus has a moving unit operatively interconnected to the second part to tend to move the same toward the belt construction in a direction substantially transverse to the axis thereof when the belt construction is in the measuring position thereof. The second part comprises a plurality of pivotally interconnected links, one of the links having opposed ends with one of those opposed ends being pivotally mounted to the apparatus on the axis thereof and the other of the opposed ends being pivoted to another of the links. The one link is adapted to be pivotally disposed against the one side surface of the belt construction.
