Abstract

See full text

A power transmission chain for a variable pulley transmission. The chain includes two half-chains placed side-by-side and offset by one-half pitch. Each half-chain has a plurality of interlaced inner links with each having a pair of depending toes to define a passageway to receive a strut that extends beyond the lateral width of the half-chain. A part of the portion of the strut extending beyond the one half-chain is substantially supported by a strut contact surface located adjacent the outer flank of the toes on the links of the other half-chain so that the strut is substantially fully supported across its full transverse width.
