Abstract
A force transmission belt having a plurality of block bodies each with laterally spaced pulley-engaging surfaces, an endless band to be trained about a pair of pulleys, cooperating structure on the endless band and the block bodies for maintaining the block bodies in an operative position on the endless band with the block bodies slidable lengthwise of the endless band and positioned so that the laterally spaced pulley-engaging surfaces frictionally engage a pulley about which the endless band is trained, and channel structure in at least one of the block bodies for guiding lubricant from a point between adjacent, engaged block bodies and the endless band to a location outside of the one block body to minimize wear between the adjacent block bodies during operation.
