A transfer ring (10) for a continously variable transmission. The transfer ring (10) includes an inner ring (12), an outer ring (18) and a spacer ring (24). The inner, outer and spacer rings are substantially coaxial with a transfer ring (10) axis. The spacer ring (24) is disposed radially between the inner and outer rings. The inner and outer rings are secured to the spacer ring (24) to substantially prevent relative movement therebetween. The spacer ring (24) has non-overlapping radially inwardly (26) and radially outwardly (27) facing slots extending respectively into inner and outer circumferences thereof. Laminar segments (42) are mounted in each of the slots and are slidably displaceable in a direction parallel to the transfer ring axis (22). The segments (42) are generally radially aligned with the transfer ring axis (22) and have upper (44) and lower (45) tabs straddling the spacer ring (24) to limit the distance which the segments (42) may be slidably displaced. |
