ABSTRACT:
A V-belt (11) formed from a successive series of novel link elements (10). Each link element (10) has a body portion (20) which presents laterally spaced, beveled side wall (21 and 22). The body portion (20) includes first and second plate-like portions (28 and 29). Each plate-like portion (28 and 29) has first and second end surfaces (30,31 and 32,33, respectively). The second plate-like portion (29) overlies the first plate-like portion (28) and is longitudinally disposed with respect thereto such that the first end surface (32) of the second plate-like portion (29) is disposed in general proximity to the second end surface (31) of the first plate-like portion (28). A hook (35) extends vertically upwardly from the first plate-like portion (28) in proximity to the first end surface (30) thereof. An aperture (46) penetrates the second plate-like portion (29) to define a draw bar (48) in proximity to the second end surface (33) of the second plate-like portion (29). The hook (35) is selectively receivable within the aperture (46) such that an interlocking arrangement is effected between a concave recess (45) in the hook (35) and a protuberance (50) on the draw bar (48) in order to maintain the successive link elements (10) selectively joined.
