Belt installation tool

摘要

The invention comprises a tool for installing a low modulus type power transmission belt on an engine pulley. More particularly on a pulley having two sets of grooves whereby two power transmission belts are engaged with the pulley. The tool comprises a substantially semi-circular form having at least two surfaces engaged with a rim and which project radially therefrom. Each of the two surfaces also describe a helical angle with respect to an axis of rotation of the pulley. The first surface urges a belt into a first set of pulley grooves during a first tool rotation. The second surface urges the belt from the first set of pulley grooves to a second adjacent set of pulley grooves during a second rotation of the tool.
