  • Transverse segment for a drive belt and a drive belt for a continuously variable transmission including the transverse segment and a ring stack
    Patent number: 11486464
    Abstract: Transverse segments (10) for a drive belt (6) for a belt-and-pulley-type continuously variable transmission include a row of these transverse segments (10) mounted on a stack (9) of several, mutually nested rings. The transverse segments (10) are provided with a protrusion (40) that protrudes from a front surface (11) thereof and with a corresponding cavity (41) that is provided in a back surface (12) thereof. An offset is provided between the protrusion (40) and the cavity (41) in the radial direction of the drive belt (6), such that in the row of transverse segments (10) in the drive belt (6) these will be inclined backwards by the forced insertion of the protrusion (40) into the cavity (41).
