Abstract
Drive belt ( ) for a continuously variable transmission, as for use in motor vehicles, having transverse elements ( ) and at least one endless carrier. The transverse elements ( ) are each provided with a recess ( ), which extends between a first and a second main face ( and respectively) of a transverse element ( ), which main faces are oriented transversely to the intended direction of movement (C) of the drive belt ( ). The recess ( ) offers accommodation for the carrier ( ) and at least is bounded by an abutting face ( ), intended to come into contact with a main face ( ) of the carrier ( ), and a boundary face ( ), which is oriented transversely thereto and restricts the freedom of movement of the carrier ( ) in the axial direction. The boundary face ( ) merges into the first main face ( ) and into the second main face ( ) via transition edges ( ), characterised in that the radius of curvature (R) of at least one transition edge ( ) is less than 0.2 mm.
