Abstract:
A device for assembling a push V-belt for a continuously variable automatic transmission, the push V-belt comprising a plurality of movably interconnected push elements (1) form an endless belt and two ring sets (2, 2â€²) which are inserted in said push V-belt symmetrically relative to a radial plane thereof,wherein a circular centering ring (3) for loosely lodging the first ring set (2) and fixing the individual push elements (1) and by a circular ring (4) that externally surrounds a lodged push element and whose inner outline is adapted to an appertaining outer outline of the push V-belt so as to exert upon each individual push element (1) a radial force F in a direction of an axis that traverses perpendicularly to a radial plane the central point of the circle formed by the push V-belt so that a second circular ring (2â€²) can be inserted without action of force in a groove formed thereby.
