<p>A transverse segment (10) for a pushbelt for a belt-and-pulley-type continuously variable transmission comprises a base portion (13) of predominantly trapezoidal shape, a narrower middle portion (14) and a top portion (15) of predominantly triangular shape. To either side of the middle portion (14), the base portion (13) is provided with carrying surfaces (16) that are oriented towards the top portion (15). A main body surface (11) of the transverse segment (10) is provided with a rocking edge (18) in the form of a convexly curved area extending from one side of the base portion (13) to the other. A transition surface (20) connects the rocking edge (18) to each of the carrying surfaces (16), which transition edge (18) adjoins the carrying surfaces (16) at an acute angle. In this design of the transverse segment (10), the rocking edge (18) can be located within less than 1 mm below the carrying surfaces (16).</p> |
