Zusammenfassung:IMPROVED STRAP CONFIGURATION FOR A DOUBLE WRAP BAND An improved double wrap brake band for the automatic transmission of an automotive vehicle wherein the band is lightweight and heat set round at the released position utilizing a thinner stap material at higher hardness ranges. The configuration of the double wrap band has a wider central band segment at the apply end of the central band, with the band width tapering over a substantial fraction of its length so that the remainder of its length provides center and outer band widths of substantially equal dimensions; thus providing a double wrap band of increased durability for the friction lining and increased apply and fatigue life.
