Abstract
A drive belt () includes an endless carrier () and a plurality of transverse members () of varying thickness, i.e. of varying dimension measured in the circumference direction 'L' of the belt (), which transverse members () are provided with a rocking edge () in the form an axially and radially extending section of a respective main body surface () of the transverse member () that is convexly curved in radial direction. According to the invention, the design of such drive belt () can be improved, at least in terms of durability, by shaping the rocking edge () of the thinner transverse members () of such drive belt () according a larger radius of curvature in comparison with the radius of curvature of the rocking edge () of thicker transverse members () thereof.
