ABSTRACT:
A flexible continuous device is provided for transmitting torque between a driving pulley and a driven pulley. The device comprises a plurality of strut members arranged in aligned side-by-side relation with each member having a predetermined pitch radius relative to the pulley axes. Adjustably engaging a corresponding surface of each strut member is a continuous flexible band member. The engagement between the band member and each strut member surface is at a greater radius than the pitch radius when the strut member is in contact with the periphery of a pulley. A unit is mounted on each strut member and coacts therewith to retain the band member and strut members in assembled relation. Each unit has a portion thereof which protrudes longitudinally of and overlies the exterior of the band member. The protruding portion of each unit extends a predetermined distance beyond the strut member on which it is mounted. The protruding portions of adjacent units are disposed in substantially nested relation.
