Abstract
A flexible power transmission means comprising an assembly of a pair of spaced, generally parallel chains, each constructed of a plurality of sets of interleaved links. Each set is joined to its next adjacent set by a pin, each pin serving both chains. Generally trapezoidal-shaped load blocks are located between the chains and having cut-outs in the sides locating the chains. The load blocks are generally contoured at their edges to fit into the V of a pulley and are disposed between the chains. The load is carried by the chains and its pins. The load blocks are longitudinally positioned with respect to the chains by the chains' pins.
