ABSTRACT:
Transverse element for a drive belt of the kind in which transverse elements whose principal planes rest against each other are fitted displaceably on one or more supports. The transverse elements are provided with one or more supporting surfaces for the support(s), the supporting surface being profiled at least in the direction transverse to the principal planes of the transverse element. The supporting surface is profiled in such a manner that a resultant force, which is to be exerted by a support on the transverse element, essentially engages outside the center of the supporting surface delimited by the principal planes. Stable positioning of the transverse element in the pulleys is thereby obtained, slipping and wear are reduced and efficiency increased. Specifically, the crest of the supporting surface is laterally offset.
