Belt for transmitting power from a cogged driving member to a cogged driven member

摘要

A belt for transmitting power from a cogged driving member to a cogged driven member such as a pair of wheel sprockets is described. The belt has inflexible teeth spaced along the direction of its travel. Each of the teeth has a longitudinal axis transverse to the direction of belt travel. The belt also includes substantially inextensible fasts spaced transversely to the direction of belt travel. The fasts extend in the direction of belt travel adjacent to the teeth and are looped around preselected numbers of the teeth.
