Abstract
A belt construction for a continuously variable transmission, a transverse belt element therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the belt construction having an endless flexible band unit and a plurality of belt elements carried by the band unit in sliding relation therewith. Each belt element has a slot arrangement receiving the band unit therein and has opposed faces disposed in compressed relation against adjacent faces of adjacent belt elements. Each belt element has opposed sides for respectively engaging pulley faces of the transmission, the slot arrangement for each belt element defining a pair of slots respectively interrupting the opposed sides thereof and being spaced from each other by a central stem portion of the element. The pair of slots for each element receive parts of the band unit therein and respectively define a pair of shoulders engaging the parts of the band unit. Each shoulder of each belt element has a transverse surface provided with an apex that engages its respective part of the band unit, the apex being disposed between its respective center of its surface and its respective stem so as to tend to bias its respective part of the band unit toward its respective central stem rather than towards its respective side.
