Abstract
A drive belt formed as a discontinuous belt structure with specially-formed nd connectors. The faces of the end connectors have large numbers of miniature interlockable hooking elements thereon for enabling the ends of the belt structure to be formed into a usable endless drive belt. The belt structure can be cut to varying lengths, such that one belt structure can be used to form a variety of different length belts. The belt ends can be connected together after the belt structure has been installed around a pulley system.
