ABSTRACT:
The drive belt has one or more continuous metal bands which slidably support a plurality of drive blocks. Each drive block has a transverse arcuate surface having a radius dimension substantially equal to or 1% less than a transverse radius formed in the metal band. Each drive block also has an opening which facilitates band assembly. The opening is outwardly diverging and terminates inwardly in a slot at the transverse arcuate surface. The opening permits flexing of the metal bands during assembly of the metal bands and the drive blocks without exceeding the yield stress of the metal bands. The inner slot provides a retaining mechanism for the metal bands after assembly.
