How to form an inclination zone in the transverse direction element for the push belts for continuation variable transmission

Title:

How to form an inclination zone in the transverse direction element for the push belts for continuation variable transmission

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP6133323

Kind Code:

B2

Abstract:

A method for forming a convex tilting zone (23) at a main body surface (11) of a transverse element for application in a push belt for a continuously variable transmission comprises the steps of providing a die (30) having a stepped surface and placing the die (30) against the main body surface (11) under pressure. However, the die (30) is pressed against the main body surface (11) just outside of an area where the tilting zone (23) needs to be formed. By applying the die (30), a recessed area (27) is arranged in the main body surface (11), wherein retraction of the material of the transverse element takes place along an upper edge (28) of this area (27). A retraction area which is obtained in this manner adjacent to the edge (28) as mentioned is suitable to function as tilting zone (23).
