ABSTRACT:
A V-belt transmission is provided which comprises V-groove pulleys and an endless belt surrounding the pulleys. A plurality of V-shaped belt engaging metallic members are positioned along the endless belt in the longitudinal direction thereof, each having a belt engaging surface for engaging the belt. A plurality of intermediate members are positioned between adjacent engaging members, with the intermediate members being positioned on the inside of the endless belt. Each of the engaging members includes a receiving surface for contacting the adjacent intermediate member, with at least one of the receiving surfaces being shaped to apply a force to the intermediate member in the longitudinal direction of the belt when the engaging member is brought into contact with the V-groove of the V-groove pulleys. The belt engaging surface of the engaging member is aligned with the mid-point of the height of the inclined side surfaces thereof which contact the V-groove of the V-groove pulleys. Further, the transmission includes resilient stopper members which hold the endless belt in a groove in the engaging member. The resilient stopper members have a size such that they contact adjacent stopper members in the longitudinal direction of the belt.
