Abstract
A power transmission chain belt wherein each of two mutually offset parallel chains includes connected sets of parallel links, and each chain is associated at its inner side with spaced-apart parallel load block members. Each set of parallel links includes link plates each having gripping protrusions on its inner-side end face which includes a concave part which is located between the protrusions and which engages an outer-side end face of the load block member. The inner-side end face of each link plate has surface regions which are spaced or offset from the concave part, in a direction from the inner side toward the outer side of the chain belt.
