Abstract
A V-belt assembly trained over V-belt wheels which includes a flexible endless belt, a plurality of rigid suspension members secured fixedly to the endless belt perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the endless belt and approximately U-shaped rigid transmission pieces pivotably supported by pivotal projections projecting sidewise from both sides of the respective suspension members and capable of engaging V-shaped grooves in the V-belt wheels. The central axis of the pivotal projections passes through the approximately central portion of the thickness of the endless belt. In the ends of both legs of the U-shaped transmission piece are formed grooves for receiving the pivotal projection of the suspension member, and lids for covering respectively these grooves are secured fixedly to the ends of the legs. Further, the transmission pieces except for at least one piece are formed with a square notch opening to the end face of both legs of 'U' configuration and the surface opposed to the adjacent transmission piece and an arcuate surface-like groove formed on a portion of one of angled sides of this notch reaching the end face of the leg to contact the other side, the arcuate surface-like grooves of these transmission pieces being fitted onto the respective pivotal projections of the suspension members.
