Abstract: A V-belt (11) formed from a successive series of novel link elements (10). Each link element (10) has a body portion (20) which presents laterally spaced, beveled side wall (21 and 22). The body portion (20) includes first and second plate-like portions (28 and 29). Each plate-like portion (28 and 29) has first and second end surfaces (30,31 and 32,33, respectively). The second plate-like portion (29) overlies the first plate-like portion (28) and is longitudinally disposed with respect thereto such that the first end surface (32) of the second plate-like portion (29) is disposed in general proximity to the second end surface (31) of the first plate-like portion (28). A hook (35) extends vertically upwardly from the first plate-like portion (28) in proximity to the first end surface (30) thereof. An aperture (46) penetrates the second plate-like portion (29) to define a draw bar (48) in proximity to the second end surface (33) of the second plate-like portion (29). The hook (35) is selectively receivable within the aperture (46) such that an interlocking arrangement is effected between a concave recess (45) in the hook (35) and a protuberance (50) on the draw bar (48) in order to maintain the successive link elements (10) selectively joined.

Abstract: The drawings illustrate an endless power transmitting chain for use with V-pulleys. The chain includes a plurality of right and left-hand sets of L-shaped members rigidly connected together in a stacked relationship such that the vertically extending legs thereof define uniform spaces therebetween. Connector links are mounted in the spaces and the two sets of drive elements and connector links are secured together by a pair of conventional rocker link half pins. Tapered end faces are formed on the ends of the laterally extending legs for respective frictional engagement with oppositely disposed conical faces of the V-pulley. In an alternate arrangement, the drive links are formed from a solid piece rather than from stacked L-shaped drive elements.

Abstract: A push-type metal V-belt for use with V-grooved pulleys is produced with a single formed and fan-folded strip of sheet metal. The folded strip has alternately tight-folded and open-folded portions having less height when viewed edgewise of the open-folded portions. During the forming of the strip, adjacent drive edges are formed so that when folded, these edges are aligned so as to become drive surfaces of the belt. When viewed in a lateral section, the drive surfaces are the outer edges of a substantially trapezoidal surface. Also, during the forming of the strip, a plurality of lateral slots are formed to provide an area or space for housing a plurality of metal bands which maintain the fan-folded strip in a continuous belt or loop configuration.

Abstract: Variable displacement reciprocating piston engine arrangements are disclosed wherein pistons drive a variable displacement oscillating rocker member connected with an oscillating lever that in turn drives a rotating shaft through a crank mechanism. The rocker member and oscillating lever are engaged at a sliding joint displaced from their spaced axes, forming an angular multiplier drive. The rocker member and its axis are movable to vary the piston stroke by changing the lever arm of the oscillating shaft connection with the rocker member, while at the same time the piston compression ratio is held constant or varied in a predetermined manner through adjustment of the piston positions by the same movement of the rocker member. Various drive and balancing arrangements are disclosed.

Abstract: A pulley and "V" belt drive arrangement has a flexible belt disposed to transmit drive forces between two spaced "V" groove pulleys. The flexible belt is constructed from a single fan-folded metal strip which is maintained in a continuous loop by one or more continuous metal bands. The bands are disposed in a U-shaped saddle or slot area formed in the fan-folded belt. The sidewalls of the saddle prevent lateral migration of the bands. The band length is sized to provide a compression load on the fan-folded belt to prevent longitudinal separation of the ends of the belt during torque transmission between the pulleys.
