<p>An element (40) for a metallic belt for a belt-type continuously variable transmission is configured in such a manner that the outer portions (46b) of the metallic belt (7) in the radial direction of the belt are formed in a rectilinear shape so that the outer portions (46b) are in linear contact with the inner portions (11a) of pulleys (5, 8) in the radial direction thereof, the inner portions (11a) being the tilted generating line portions of the pulleys (5, 8), the tilted generating line portions being tilted at a certain angle. Protrusions (48) extending inward in the radial direction of the belt are respectively provided at the lower ends of both side edges of the element (40) so as to be located below a rocking edge section (44a). The protrusions (48) are configured so as to deflect inward in the axial direction of the pulleys (5, 8) when the element (40) and the outer portions (11b) of the pulleys (5, 8) in the radial direction thereof are in contact with each other, the outer portions (11b) being the curved generating line portions of the pulleys (5, 8).</p> |
