ABSTRACT:
A readily adjustable belt and a link construction wherein a plurality of links of similar construction are detachably connected in end to end relationship to define an endless torque transmitting belt. Each link is formed of an injection molded plastic part having a female end portion and a male end portion arranged such that the male portion of one link can be readily snap-fitted to the female portion of the next adjacent link. The respective links are identical in structure and are provided in complementary interlocking structure to facilitate attachment and to insure positive interlocking engagement of adjacent links, and yet render the links readily detachably connected so as to facilitate rendering a belt readily adjustable. The respective links are also provided with transversely extending indentations formed in the upper and lower surfaces thereof to impart flexibility thereto. Tapering side surfaces are provided with a non-slip textured surface.
