Patent ID: 7892121

Claim:
A V-belt type continuously variable transmission comprising: first and second sheave shafts; first and second sheaves that rotate together with the first and second sheave shafts, respectively, wherein each of the first and second sheaves comprises a stationary sheave half that is axially immovable, and a moving sheave half that rotates together with the first and second sheave shafts and is axially movable; a V-belt wound around the first and second sheaves; and a stopper comprising a stationary contact member arranged to be axially immovable, a moving contact member integral with, or separate from, the moving sheave half, and an abrasion preventive layer made of an abrasion-resistant material and interposed between the stationary contact member and the moving contact member; and an elastic body arranged between the moving sheave and the stationary contact member; wherein the moving contact member is arranged to contact the stationary contact member through the abrasion preventive layer when a spacing between the moving sheave half and the stationary sheave half becomes maximum to thereby restrict the spacing between the moving sheave half and the stationary sheave half; the stationary contact member, the moving contact member, and the abrasion preventive layer overlap with each other in an axial direction of the first sheave shaft or the second sheave shaft; and the abrasion preventive layer is not provided between the elastic body and the stationary contact member.
