Abstract
A metal belt () is an endless belt formed of a strip body. The metal belt () includes a belt overlapping portion in which at least two ring pieces () formed by deformation due to a compressive stress inherent in the belt doubly overlap in a ring radial direction in a natural state where no external force is applied. Further, the metal belt () has a cross-sectional shape convex radially outwardly in a cross-section perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the belt in a state reached by annularly spreading the belt in the natural state.
