Abstract
A power transmission chain-belt, especially adapted to provide a drive and transmit power between the pulleys of a variable ratio pulley transmission. The chain-belt is constructed of a plurality of ranks or sets of interleaved links, each rank being joined to the next adjacent rank by pivot means, such as round pins, or a pin and rocker, to permit articulation of the belt. Some of the ranks or sets of links have a pitch which is different from the pitch of the other ranks or sets of links. Generally trapezoidal load blocks are located between the pivot means of each rank or set of links, which blocks have opposite edge surfaces to contact the flanges of the pulleys. The front and rear surfaces of the blocks can be tapered to permit the articulation of the belt.
