<p>Belt (3) for use in a continuous variable transmission, comprising an endless carrier (4) for taking op tensile forces within said belt (3), and a plurality of transverse elements (5) provided moveable in the longitudinal direction along said carrier (4), which elements (5) are provided with at least one saddle surface (8) for contacting the carrier (4), which saddle surface (8) defines an ultimate mutual position of the said carrier (4) and the said elements (5) relative to each other within the belt (3) in radial direction, with a tapered lower element part including a rocking edge (9) and with an upper element part (10, 11;14) extending radially above the said rocking edge (9) and beyond the carrier (4), at least when the carrier (4) and the saddle surface (8) are in mutual contact. According to the invention a thickness of the upper element part (10, 11; 14) of a majority of the transverse elements (5) in the longitudinal direction of the belt (3) is notionally larger than a largest thickness of the tapered lower element part, such that an array of elements (5) being pushed against one another within said belt (3) when mutually contacting through their upper element parts (10, 11; 14) assumes an arc-like shape.</p> |
