  • V-Belt measuring device
    Patent number: 4332087
    Abstract: A V-belt measuring device is provided for directly determining the size of a V-belt needed for a particular belt-drive mechanical system without the need for subsequent calculations. The measuring device is substantially complimentary in cross-section to the generally V-shaped grooves in the pulleys of the belt-drive system, and includes a bevelled end portion and a central contact portion which cooperate while tension is applied to the device to directly indicate a proper replacement belt size.
