ABSTRACT:
A pulley has evenly spaced grooves. A belt is formed with evenly spaced teeth which mesh with the grooves on the pulley. A device senses deformation of the belt resulting from damage to at least one of the teeth on the belt. The device may sense an opening between the belt and the pulley which results from breakage of at least one of the teeth on the belt. When such displacement or an opening is detected, an indicator lamp is lit to report that the belt should be replaced.
