Abstract
Abstract It is the object of the invention to provide a V-belt in such a manner that at higher rate of power input the V-belt will have longer life-time. It was found that this object is met if the flank of the V-belt associated with the almost vertical side flank is inclined by at least 1* more than this side flank; and if the flank of the Vbelt associated with the inclined side flank is inclined by at least 1* less than this side flank.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
An asymmetric V-belt for an asymmetric pulley having a first belt-contacting flank defining a plane nearly normal to the axis of the pulley and a second belt-contacting flank defining a larger angle relative to a plane normal to the axis of the pulley than the first flank, said V-belt comprising: a first side flank for contacting the first flank of the pulley and a second side flank for contacting the second flank of the pulley, said first flank of the belt defining an angle at least one-half degree larger relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis than the first flank of the pulley and the second flank of the belt defining an angle at least one-half degree smaller relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis than the second flank of the pulley; and a top surface and a base surface joining said side flanks of the belt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
An asymmetric V-belt for an asymmetric pulley having a first belt-contacting flank defining a plane nearly normal to the axis of the pulley and a second belt-contacting flank defining a larger angle relative to a plane normal to the axis of the pulley than the first flank, said V-belt comprising: a first side flank for contacting the first flank of the pulley and a second side flank for contacting the second flank of the pulley, said first flank of the belt defining an angle at least one-half degree larger relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis than the first flank of the pulley and the second flank of the belt defining an angle at least one-half degree smaller relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis than the second flank of the pulley; and a top surface and a base surface joining said side flanks of the belt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
83 words
The V-belt according to claim 1 for a pulley having a first belt-contacting flank defining an angle of one to two degrees relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis, and wherein said first side flank of the belt defines an angle of about two to five degrees relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis and said second side flank of the belt defines an angle of twelve to twenty-seven degrees relative to a plane normal to the pulley axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The V-belt according to claim 2 wherein said second side flank of the belt and said top surface are joined by a chamfering means defining an angle relative to a plane which is normal to the axis of the pulley and intersects the junction between said chamfering means and said second side flank of the belt.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The V-belt according to claim 3 wherein said angle defined by the chamfering means is between ten to forty degrees.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The V-belt according to claim 3 wherein said chamfering means comprises a flat plate having a thickness of two to four millimeters.
