Abstract
A metal V-belt comprising an endless metal ring member and a plurality of metal element members supported along said metal ring member wherein the clearance between a slot portion S of the metal element members and the endless metal ring member is set larger than the clearance in the thickness direction of the belt between the concave and convex portions of a coupling portion used for linking disposed on the front and rear surfaces of the metal element members . This controls damage to the metal ring member caused by contact between the metal ring member outermost periphery of the metal V-belt used in, for example, an infinite variable-speed drive and the metal element members.
