ABSTRACT:
In a metal belt for a continuously variable transmission, when a laterally inner end of a metal ring assembly abuts a neck, a laterally outer end of the metal ring assembly is positioned at a location displaced toward the neck from a laterally outer end of an ear. When the metal belt is transported as an independent item or even when assembled to the continuously variable transmission, contact with another article with the laterally outer end of the metal ring assembly is prohibited by a laterally outer end of the ear to prevent damage to the metal ring assembly and the metal ring assembly from falling off of the ring slot. In addition, the entire widthwise region of the metal ring assembly is opposite to the lower ear face, so that a sufficient amount of oil is retained on the opposite surface, to enhance a metal element-cooling effect.
