ABSTRACT:
An adjustable torque transmitting belt comprising a plurlity of links. The links are attached end to end forming a belt of any desired length. The ends of the belt formed by the plurality of links are attached together by combining three different specialized links with a flexible bolt. The flexible bolt fits through a bore in a male link attached to one end of the belt, then through a bore in a rotator link, then treaded into a female link attached to the other end of the belt. A continuous loop belt is then formed that can be easily adjusted by the specialized link and flexible bolt assembly. A single flexible elongated link may be utilized in lieu of a plurality of smaller links. In another embodiment a plurality of identical links are assembled together to form an adjustable continuous belt. Each link can be securely attached without the use of tools due to the flexible nature of the configuration and the material of the similar links.
