ABSTRACT:
A link-type V-belt of relatively inflexible material including a first link having bifurcate ends and a second link having single ends which are pinned together by multiple pins in alternating fashion. Two pins are employed at each intersection between links and are semicylindrical for rolling contact between pins and for pivotal movement with the associated link. Broad transmission faces are associated with each link in inclined arrangement for conforming to a V-grooved pulley. Lubricant relief passages aid in the power transmission of the pulley by allowing lubricants to flow from the transmission faces of the belt. At the same time, the belt may be lubricated to further reduce internal frictions and sliding friction on associated pulleys. Informing the link having bifurcate ends, two link members may be positioned together with a spacer therebetween. Pins are calked in place to retain both the pin in position and the link members together. The uncalked pin of the two pins in each link connection is allowed to slide transversely to further reduce friction.
