| 20090203478 | DRIVING BELT, AND ASSEMBLING DEVICE, ASSEMBLING METHOD AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - An assembling device, an assembling method and a manufacturing method of a driving belt, which can facilitate fitting of rings into a recess of an element to improve productivity of the driving belt. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090258743 | DRIVING BELT AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAME - A driving belt and method of assembling the same, which can fit a ring with elements easily, and which can prevent detachment of the ring from the elements. In a driving belt, an endless ring is accommodated in a recess of elements arranged annularly in a manner to situate the recess to open to an outer circumferential side, and the elements are interlinked pivotally with respect to an opposed face of an adjoining element. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100011560 | ASSEMBLING DEVICE, ASSEMBLING METHOD AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DRIVING BELT - An assembling device of a driving belt, in which two rows of rings are accommodated parallel to each other in a recess of a plurality of elements interlinked annularly in a manner to situate the recess to open to an outer circumferential side, in which protruding portions protrude from an outer circumferential side of inner walls of the recess toward a width center of the element to prevent detachment of the rings and from the recess, and in which the rings are held by the protruding portions in an inner circumferential side of the protruding portions. A ring holding mechanism immovably holds the first ring whose outer lateral side is being fitted into a space between one of the protruding portions and a bottom of the recess, and a ring moving mechanism pushes the second ring toward other protruding portion. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100016112 | DRIVING BELT AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAME - A driving belt and method of assembling the same, which can fit rings with elements easily even at a final phase of fitting work. In a driving belt, two rows of endless rings are accommodated and held parallel to each other in a recess of a plurality of elements interlinked annularly in a manner to situate the recess to open to an outer circumferential side and in a manner to pivot with respect to the adjoining elements, and the element includes plural types of elements having different configurations of the recess. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100016113 | DRIVING BELT, AND DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAME - A method and device of assembling a driving belt, which can fit a ring into a recess of an element easily, and which can prevent the ring from being damaged when fitting the ring into the recess of the element. A driving belt, in which two rows of endless rings are accommodated parallel to each other in a recess of a plurality of elements interlinked annularly in a manner to situate the recess to open to an outer circumferential side, includes a guide face, which is formed on an end face of a protruding portion for holding the ring to prevent detachment of the ring from the recess. The guide face produces an inward component of a pushing force pushing one of the rings to one of the end faces, and the produced inward component of pushing force is applied to an outer lateral side of the pushed ring. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100325866 | BELT ASSEMBLING DEVICE, BELT ASSEMBLING METHOD, AND BELT MANUFACTURING METHOD - To efficiently assemble or manufacture a belt by fastening a plurality of elements in a circular manner using a ring. A belt assembling device is adapted to assemble a belt by fastening a plurality of plate-like elements juxtaposed in a same orientation and in a circular manner using a ring. The belt assembling device includes a holding member. The holding member holds the ring to which the elements are attached sequentially, in a manner to keep a curvature radius of the ring partially larger than that of the remaining portion. Therefore, the portion of the ring at which the curvature radius is thus kept larger can be twisted and deformed easily so that the element can be attached to the ring at the portion. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110201467 | ELEMENT FOR DRIVING BELT AND DRIVING BELT - An element for a driving belt, which is easy for a ring to be fitted into a recess of the element, and which is capable of preventing deterioration of durability thereof. The element as a plate-like member includes latch portions formed on an opening end side of each inner side wall of the recess to hold a ring in its inner circumferential side. The element thus structured is juxtaposed in a circular manner to be fastened by the ring to form a driving belt. In the element, a holding face is formed on an inner circumferential face of the latch portion to be opposed to an outer circumferential face of the ring and to be contacted with the outer circumferential face of the ring to hold the ring, and a relief area is formed by depressing a portion of each of the inner side wall at an inner circumferential side of the holding face. | 08-18-2011 |
