First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A timing belt, particularly a toothed belt, having a first end, a second end, a rear side, a front side, and having a plurality of teeth arranged on the rear side and/or the front side, wherein the first end has at least one cutaway, wherein the second end has at least one tine that is insertable into the cutaway, and wherein the first end and the second end are detachably connectable to each other by connecting means, wherein, in a connected condition under no tension the teeth of the first end have an offset relative to the teeth of the second end. 2. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the offset has a length between 0.1 mm and 1.5 mm. 3. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the timing belt has back panels and/or inserts as connecting means. 4. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the tines have recesses on the rear side thereof for accommodating the back panels. 5. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the tines have grooves on the front side thereof for accommodating the inserts. 6. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the grooves and/or recesses are arranged eccentrically relative to the teeth in a longitudinal direction of the belt. 7. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the tines of the first end and/or the second end have through holes which extend from the rear side to the front side of the belt. 8. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the timing belt has connecting elements. 9. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the tines and the recesses are from six to fourteen teeth long. 10. The timing belt according to claim 1 , wherein the timing belt is made from plastic and comprises tensile elements made from metal, particularly steel.
