ABSTRACT:
A power transmission chain-belt, especially adapted to provide a drive and transmit power between the pulleys of a pulley transmission, such as a variable ratio pulley transmission. The chain-belt is constructed of a plurality of ranks or sets of interleaved links, each rank being joined to the next adjacent rank by pivot means, such as round pins, or a pin and rocker, to permit articulation of the belt. Generally trapezoidal load blocks are located between the pivot means of each rank or set of links, which blocks have opposite edge surfaces to contact the flanges of the pulleys. At least one load block has a differently dimensioned or arranged contact area than the other load blocks. This changes the generated noise pattern produced when the chain-belt engages the pulley flanges.
