TRANSVERSE SEGMENT FOR A DRIVE BELT WITH A CARRIER RING AND MULTIPLE TRANSVERSE SEGMENTS

摘要

A transverse segment 32 for a drive belt 3 for a continuously variable transmission, with two recesses 33, the recess 33 being radially outwardly facing the saddle face 42 of the transverse segment 32 Each of the saddle faces 42 is convexly curved according to a local radius of curvature, and this local radius of curvature is, at least on average, the geometric midpoint of the saddle face 42 (MP On the first axial side of the saddle surface 42 relative to ), it is small compared to the average local radius of curvature of the opposite axial side of the saddle surface 42.
