摘要

Endless metal band (44i) for a ·drive belt with at least one set of a number of such endless metal bands (44i) that are mutually nested and with a number of transverse elements that are mounted on the band set and that are provided with a cut-out extending between a front main face and a rear main face of the transverse element for taking up the band set, which cut-out is bound in radial inward direction by a radially outwardly oriented bearing surface of the transverse elements that arrives in sliding friction contact with a radial inside surface (51) of the radially innermost endless metal band (44i) of the band set (31). According to the invention, the radial inside surface (51) of the endless metal band (44i) is, at least in part, provided with an abrasive coating (50).
