Stepless gear transmission for vehicle - has conversion range beginning at zero and consists of continuously variable and differential reverse gearings and switching clutch

摘要

The stepless gear transmission coverts the power of an engine to drive vehicles, ships or machine tools. The transmission has a speed conversion range beginning at zero and consists of a continuously variable gearing (7), a differential reverse gearing (8) and a switching clutch (5). The differential reverse gearing may have bevelled or plain gears or a combination of the two. ADVANTAGE - Efficiency is improved, as no starting clutch is required.
