ABSTRACT:
A V-belt assembly is provided which comprises an endless metallic belt and a plurality of V-shaped members disposed along the belt in the longitudinal direction of the belt. Each of the V-shaped members has a groove with a belt engaging surface at the bottom of the groove facing the belt. The V-shaped members also include pulley engaging surfaces for engaging the surfaces of pulleys in the transmission. A plurality of intermediate members are interposed between adjacent V-shaped members on the inside of the belt. The intermediate members are held between corresponding adjacent V-shaped members by intermediate member engaging surfaces of the V-shaped members. The intermediate members are movable towards and away from the belt along the intermediate member engaging surfaces. The side surfaces of the groove can be formed with a surface corresponding to the shape of the edge surface of the endless belt.
