Abstract
A push-type metal V-belt is formed from a single strip of sheet metal. The strip is formed and folded such that the lateral faces between the converging outer drive edges are tapered to have a reduced thickness at the inner fold. The formed strip also has lateral slots in which, after folding, continuous metal bands are disposed for maintaining the belt in a continuous loop configuration.
