摘要

To efficiently assemble or manufacture a belt by fastening a plurality of elements in a circular manner using a ring. A belt assembling method for assembling a belt 1, by fastening a plurality of plate-like elements 6 in a circular manner, using a ring 9 having a width wider than an opening width of an opening 12 formed in the element 6, comprising: holding the elements 6 in an inner circumferential side of the ring 9 in an orientation to open the opening 12 toward an inner circumferential face of the ring 9; inclining the ring 9 while displacing widthwise by pushing an outer circumferential face of the ring 9 partially toward the opening 12, at a side of one of open ends of the opening 12; and relatively moving the ring 9 and the element 6 close to each other thereby letting the inclined ring 9 through the opening 12 to fit the ring 9 with the element 6.
